Andrew Evans first throw is 60.15. I’m guessing he has never thrown in front a crowd this big.

The qualifying standard is 66 meters. Only one throw from group A hit the mark in their first throw. Andrew needs to find about five meters in one of his next two throws.

Alex Rose looks for his family in the crowd and then waves. His group is up next in men’s discus. Andrew Evans told me he was disappointed with his 62.25 meter throw. He was 9th in Group A. The top 12 advance to the finals. Not likely he’ll survive, but you never know.

Alex Rose first throw is 62.88. This is Alex third Olympics. He is trying to become the first Samoan athlete to qualify for a final.

Alex Rose fouled on his second throw. He is currently 10th. Top 12 qualify. Andrew Evan’s has been eliminated. #Paris2024

Alex Rose has done it. He made the Olympic finals in discus. WOOD TV8 #Paris2024

You just never know who you will bump into at the Olympic Games. Abby Cadabby might be my new favorite muppet. WOOD TV8 #Paris2024

Madison Hubbell says the one good thing about having to wait more than two years to get her Figure Skating team gold, is she gets to accept it in Paris, in front of a giant crowd, instead of an empty stadium. #Paris2024

Alex Rose introduced in the discus finals. Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donahue get their gold medals. We’ll have that tonight at 6 on WOOD TV8

A wave and a kiss to his family and then Alex Rose throws. 61.89 on his second toss. He needs to find another seven meters to get to the medal stand. Alkena just tied his own Olympic record with a throw of 69.97 to take the lead in the discus final. #Paris2024

Paris is just showing off now. WOOD TV8 Paris 2024

Casey Wasserman says there is nothing like a home game for American athletes. LA will no longer be on deck, it will be on the clock when the Paris 2024 games end.

This was interesting. Breakdance makes its debut at the Paris 2024 games.

What a start for GVSU Football. Lakers up 21-0 after a blocked punt led to their 3rd TD of the 1st Quarter.

woodtv.com/football-frenz… Cast your vote for the Football Frenzy play of the week. Northview Wildcats Football South Christian Football and Byron Center Athletics. We'll announce the winner on WOOD TV8 Daybreak on Friday.

Guardians score 3-runs in the 9th and beat the Twins. The Detroit Tigers can pull to within a half game of the final wild card if they hold on and beat the Royals.

The Tigers are only a half game behind the Twins. Only two games behind the Royals. Nine games remain in the regular season. This should be fun.

But the Tigers have ALL the momentum. Can't wait to see this play out.

I know winning makes everything more enjoyable, but this Tigers broadcast team is really good. Listening to Benetti and Dirks call a game together is awesome. They have great chemistry. And Johnny Kane, who has always been really good, has upped his game this season. A+

Perfect night in EGR. Pioneers lead Northview 19-14 at half.#frenzy8
