?Welcome to day 13 of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The current Covid-19 wave is wreaking havoc on Olympic athletes. WaPo has reported that at least 40 athletes have tested positive for covid following a report by The World Health Organization that the virus is spreading in at least 84 countries. The athletes are suffering from respiratory symptoms that manifest more intensely than those observed in seasonal illnesses. Health experts have expressed concerns with the lack of initiative to stifle the spread by the IOC.

In other news, the Pharaohs are just one step away from another bronze. The Egyptian Olympic football team will be meeting Morocco to compete for third place later today at 6:00pm. Our homegrown team lost the semifinals to France earlier this week, marking the third time we’ve reached this stage and went home empty handed.

The medal table at the Paris Olympics at time of publication:

  • USA (27 gold, 35 silver, 33 bronze — 95 total)
  • China (26 gold, 24 silver, 17 bronze — 67 total)
