Day three done

 Day three done.  No real surprises today. Tom Daley of Great Britain finally wins a gold medal in diving.  His first Olympics was 2008.  Skateboarding handed out its first medals. The three medalists on the ladies side, their combined age is 42. 😳. I feel old. Top three in medals are: 1. China with 18 (6g, 5s 7b), 2. United States with 14 (7g, 3s 4b) and 3. Japan with 13 (8g, 2s, 3b). Canada finishes the day with 4 medals won (1g, 2s, 1b). Tomorrow has the threat of a typhoon making landfall. So some sports will be postponed and rescheduled.
