For the first time since 1972, Team USA failed to win any medals to open the Summer Olympics on Saturday in Tokyo.
Team USA Olympians endured several upset losses during the first day of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, taking home none of the 11 gold medals that were awarded on Saturday Japanese time, or Friday in the U.S.
The team also failed to win any of the silver or bronze medals for any of the opening day events, which included archery, cycling, fencing, judo, air rifle and pistol shooting, taekwondo, and weightlifting.
Brady Ellison, the number two seed Team USA archer who has won three Olympic medals in games past, was one of the American Olympic athletes to suffer an opening day upset loss.
'I'm still a little shocked,' Ellison said after Saturday’s event, according to a USA Today report.
'I completely expected us to win a medal today.'
According to Olympic historian Bill Mallon, the U.S. team has gotten a medal on every first day that its athletes have played since 1972 in Munich.

But the teams are really diverse.
Congrats to the Metal Winners.
As for the U.S. Teams.
Go Woke. Go Metal Broke.
Don’t know why anyone would be SHOCKED the USA has lost the absolute grit it used to have!!
With this bunch of bonerrs, no wonder!
The mindset of a person who kneels is that a of a person who submits. They possess the attitude of a loser. Such a person cannot be a winner, it is axiomatic.
yup
Since the U.S. is a puppet state of Red China, doesn’t that technically mean we won, too ?
“We touched all the woke points, said all the right woke things, denounced America and the Bill of Rights. We even did the Fortnite dance and dabbed, we don’t understand why they didn’t hand us a medal.” crying children were heard to say.
Few on the American team are athletes.
The overwhelming majority of them are community activist.
Affirmative action Olympic team.
But the important thing is they had BLM
To quote the great Bob Dylan, “I Used to care, but things have changed.”
The problem is they didn’t take enough knees and disparage their country enough.
Get this....the US Women’s Soccer Team DID NOT KNEEL for the Anthem this time....and they WON 6-1.
Hmmmm....you think they may have GOTTEN A CLUE????
Bad luck to Kneel ?
Nah, doesn’t matter - it’s not remorse, it’s fear of losing endorsement money.
Probably had to use braces to keep upright.
If they do make the podium expect something disgusting.
Behold the fields upon which my f@#ks have been sown, and see with thine own eyes that they are barren.
Gee, it’s too bad kneeling isn’t an Olympic sport.
How do you know if they chastised or not?
