      Kanoa Igarashi of Japan was disappointed when he lost to Brazilian Italo Ferreira in surfing's Olympic debut. He could have stewed in silence - but instead used his knowledge of Portuguese to help translate a press conference question for Ferreira.pic.twitter.com/bZGg0gajk5

      Gianmarco Tamberi of Italy and Mutaz Barshim of Qatar were both perfect in the high jump until the bar was set to the Olympic-record height of 2.39 meters.  They both missed three times. Instead of a jump-off, they decided to share the gold.https://apnews.com/article/2020-tokyo-olympics-track-and-field-sports-qatar-sports-middle-east-75b45cd467eb4d47ead0305417bcf0fa …

          Runners Isaiah Jewett of the U.S. and Nijel Amos of Botswana got tangled and fell during the 800-meter semifinals. Rather than get angry, they helped each other to their feet, put their arms around each other and finished together.https://apnews.com/article/2020-tokyo-olympics-track-and-field-isaiah-jewett-nijel-amos-44515fecddf8c12d9f008b78414a894c …

          Belgium’s Claire Michel was inconsolable and slumped on the ground sobbing after coming in last in the women’s triathlon.  Norwegian Lotte Miller placed 24th, and then took a moment for a pep talk. “This is the Olympic spirit, and you’ve got it 100%,” Miller told Michel.pic.twitter.com/zEJd9Exo5z
