Robbery at Argentina team base before game

Argentina men's football coach Javier Mascherano said the team's Olympics training base was robbed before its chaotic tournament-opening loss to Morocco. The Argentina delegation filed a police complaint in Lyon, the prosecutor's office of nearby Saint-Etienne said today. "They went into training and they robbed us, in the Olympic Games," Mascherano said after his team's shocking 2-1 loss. Mascherano said midfielder Thiago Almada's watch was among the items taken.

Skaters off their boards at village

The Paris Games have fully embraced skateboarding, with its youthful appeal and blockbuster television ratings, but skaters say they have to stay off their boards inside the Olympics village. American women's park competitor Minna Stess had been eager to ride her board around the 52-hectare village, where some 14,500 athletes and their staff are free to mingle without the Covid restrictions that limited competitors at the Tokyo Games. There was just one problem with that plan.

"You get yelled at," said the 18-year-old Stess.
