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.

‘I’m still a little shocked’
Well, I’m delighted. PC wokesters came up empty.
Not even a diversity award?
go woke, go without medals
I’m hoping everyone who took a knee fails to win anything.
The individuals that stood for America?
If they stood and yet did not chastise their teammates, then it’s still the same: I hope for zero wins.
Princess Purple Hair has something planned . Did the team get their CRT brainwashing before the left , if so their brains are Mush
But they look great in their BLM jackets and their stylish kneeling.
Maybe they’ll get a participation trophy.
That’s a shame...
You never go full on Tranny!
maybe if our athletes got up off their knees?
naaaaa! that’s crazy talk!
/s
Kneelers are losers. Lose kneelers.
Go woke, go choke.
Where’s the equity? I don’t see the challenged, the less than athletic or those like myself who failed gym in the eighth grade.
This must be changed.
I though the Olympics were cancelled because of Covid or something.
What channel are they on? —er—- never mind . I think I need to mow the grass again.
Oh well........
When do the Winter Olympics start?
They should get social credit points for being woke, 🤣😂😅
Wait, the Olympics are on..I forgot..and I really don’t give two poos about it
China has 4 medals
If there was a medal for kneeling the US would win top prize each time
China also won the gold in creating a virus to destroy the world
