Stopping the world has some benefits, taking a moment to admire the peace and the beauty around you is one of them. https://t.co/aW0cNuKXY2

My thoughts on postponing the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic games. https://t.co/K19mJWe2sz

I cannot decide how I feel. Happy that we played with so much intensity, frustrated by my mistakes, excited for our potential, satisfied that the tournament is completed, disappointed in our finish, homesick for my family, pressured with work, blessed to be with friends...

We face off against Lithuania today for third place. The game starts at noon local time! #Goalball #USAGoalball #GoTeamUSA #BronzeMedalGame

This morning at 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM Eastern standard time, USA blue will face off against Great Britain, and USA white will face off against Lithuania respectively. Last games of the tournament, we have learned a lot, and we have work to do, but everyone has played well. 🇺🇸

[Mr. Kusku @mrkusku]

We defeated the home team 8-6. I had a very strong defensive game! At 6 PM local time we play against Lithuania. The winner finishes second place in our group. Since there are no semi finals, that team will play for bronze. The losing team will play for fifth place. #goalball

We won both of our games today, the first by 10 and the second by 8 goals. In other news, for dinner I put Fish fillets on some type of chicken sauce, on rice, on gumbo, on salad… I made my own casserole, It was amazing. #HungryPanda

Today USA blue beat Romania 10 to 0. And USA white beat Spain 11 to 1. Later today USA blue plays Turkey, and USA white plays Belgium. #GoTeamUSA #USAGoalball #Goalball #Tokyo2020 @USAMGoalball @USABA

At 10:00 AM Eastern time in USA we play against Turkey. This will be streamed on YouTube on the goalball Finland channel. #pajulahti

[Tyler Merren @tylermerren]

We had an 11-1 mercy over Spain this morning. Callahan scored four goals, Cody scored three goals, Josh and I both scored two goals. Feeling good and having fun. Next game will be at 11 o’clock Eastern standard time.

This morning begins my 102nd Goalball tournament. 20 years of traveling, putting my body through rigors of training in over 25 states, 15 countries, and more training facilities than I can remember. It’s exciting, painful, exhausting, and addicting all at the same time.😎🇺🇸

Look, I get it, new timezone and all of that. But when I finally have 0 distractions, does my body choose to sleep in? Of course not, 4:30 and I am wide awake. 🙃🙄 #USAGoalball #RoadToTokyo #PajulahtiGames
