It says something when a 26-sport day feels manageable. Still, there were some amazing moments in competition on Day 6 at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, including:
- 3x3 Basketball - We've got our first Olympic medalists!

- Artistic Gymnastics - Men's All Around competition, plus Simone Biles pulls out of the Women's All Around.
- Badminton - A big upset.
- Baseball
- Canoe Slalom - TKFLASTANI Luuka Jones starts her C1 competition.
- Cycling - Road Individual Time Trials - Does NED correct the mistakes from the road race?
- Diving
- Equestrian
- Fencing
- Football - Knockout stage is set.
- Judo
- Rowing - Things we've never before seen in a rowing race.
- Rugby - Is it a 2nd gold for Fiji?
- Sailing - How are our TKFLASTANIS Stephanie Roble and Maggie Shea doing in the 49er FX?
- Swimming - Who could look upset about a gold medal? One swimmer can.
- Tennis - A change in start times
- Water Polo - A surprising game for Team USA's women.
- Weightlifting
Plus:
- Weather Watch - A maranovela edition
- Where's Marnie (McBean, our TKF Chef de Mission)?
