šŸ”¼ Suni Skies in Paris. Sunisa Lee and Team USA kicked off the Paris Olympic Games Sunday morning at team qualifications, finishing on top of the leaderboard to advance to team finals with a 172.296 at Bercy Arena.

In addition, Lee will have a chance to defend her all-around gold from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as she finished third in qualifications in the category with a 56.132. Sheā€™ll represent the U.S. along with teammate Simone Biles in the all-around competition.

Highlighting her day was her performances on bars and beam. She led off the meet with a 14.033 on beam to come in fourth overall, advancing to the event final. 

Team finals are slated for Tuesday at 11:15 a.m. CT at Bercy Arena. The womenā€™s all-around final will be held Thursday, August 1, at 11:15 a.m. CT, while womenā€™s uneven bars is set for August 4, and the balance beam will be on August 5.

šŸ”¼ Bug Out. Jerrin Thompson might be new to Auburn this season, but everybody around the Woltosz Football Performance Center already knows ā€œBug.ā€ 

Little did Thompsonā€™s father know that when he started calling Thompson ā€œLovebugā€ as a baby, it was a nickname that would stay with his son from high school to playing football at the University of Texas for four years and now to Auburn. The only people who still call him Jerrin are his teachers. 

The nickname carries special weight to Thompson because the man who coined it is no longer here. His father, Joe, passed away the day after his birthday when Thompson was a freshman in high school. 

ā€œHe came to see my first game, and then after that, I didnā€™t have any more conversations with him,ā€ Thompson said. ā€œHe had bad strokes and brain damage.ā€

Read On the Plains with Jerrin Thompson for more on how his father got him into football at a young age, co-defensive coordinator Charles Kellyā€™s role in his transfer to Auburn and the high bar set for the team this season.
