Sometimes when we borrow words from other languages, English can become delightfully redundant.
‘Scampi’ means “shrimp” so ‘shrimp scampi’ is basically “shrimp shrimp.”
Sahara Desert = Desert Desert
chai tea = tea tea
naan bread = bread bread

This is the video submitted with Jordan Chiles' appeal to the Swiss court.
It appears to show the score posted at 15:31:53 and at 15:32:55, video shows Cecile Landi walking away from the inquiry table, presumably having already verbally inquired, before turning back briefly.
Jordan Chiles has officially submitted an appeal to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court in regard to the CAS decision that stripped her of her bronze medal.
Press release here: businesswire.com/news/home/2…
USAG’s statement on the appeal:
I met Michaela when she was 14 — and actually very briefly the year before — and interviewed her several times. I remember once getting her contact info from her mother who told me, "You cared about her when she was a little nobody." But she was never a nobody.
So terribly sad. inquirer.com/philly/entertai…
Here's a gift link for her story. It deserves to be told. inquirer.com/philly/entertai…
I’m so sorry to hear this. I wrote about Michaela many times.

I know there's technically no audience allowed at the presidential debate tonight, but someone needs to put the Phanatic and Gritty sitting dead center in the auditorium, facing the candidates, their wide eyes and unblinking, staring into the depth of their souls.

🤔 Dallas Black Dance Theatre confirmed to Dance Magazine that it objected to this video. There must be more here, because this looks like a good promo for the company. instagram.com/reel/C8fXKUBRU…

They should’ve given Katie Ledecky two podium warm-up suits, so one can be drying while she wears the other. #Olympics #Paris2024
