SPORTS BRIEFING
OLYMPICS
Medical adviser recommends against fans in venues
at Tokyo Games — The safest way to hold the Tokyo Olym-
pics is without any fans, the top medical adviser to the Japa-
nese government said in a report on Friday. Dr. Shigeru Omi’s
recommendation seems to put him at odds with organizers
and the International Olympic Committee with the Olym-
pics opening in just five weeks on July 23. Fans from abroad
were banned several months ago, and organizers are to an-
nounce early next week if some local fans should be allowed.
Widely circulated reports say the government wants to allow
up to 10,000 people at some sports and cultural events. This
policy is expected to be applied to the Olympics with smaller
ceilings at smaller venues. Seiko Hashimoto, the president
of the local organizing committee, said that the final deci-
sion on fans was likely to be made Monday in a meeting with
organizers, the IOC, the Tokyo metropolitan government,
the Japanese government, and the International Paralympic
Committee.

good challenge this season.”
Three Saints scored 48 of the
team’s 49 total points in their
win Thursday. Sophomore
Colin Pearson scored 10 points,
draining two critical 3-point-
ers in the third quarter, while
senior Niko Uto was a menace
down low, adding 11 points.
Gilbert scored the remaining
27 points, including all 10 of
the team’s points in the fourth
quarter to clinch the comeback
victory.
“Fourth quarter is the most
exciting part of the game, it is
where you show what you got,”
Scooty Gilbert said. “Are you
going to step up, or are you go-
ing to back away? We came to
the table and gave it all we got
tonight.”

Pair the new-look roster with
a season with more games than
practices and you have a team
hoping to peak at the most cru-

It has been a fun year for
Gilbert’s son, Scooty Gilbert.
With the departure of last year’s
senior class, the junior now
shoulders a much larger role on
offense, which he has happily
stepped into.
“It has been a good challenge
for all of us,” Scooty Gilbert
said. “Me being the main scorer
and then letting the other guys
set up. Other teams have been
keying on me defensively so it
has allowed for other guys to

Russell Henley waits to hit on the ninth green during the second round
of the U.S. Open on Friday at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego.
The course is strong as ever
with enough wind, though a
marine layer has kept sunshine
from baking out some of the
greens. Then again, the week-
end awaits.
The weekend will include
Phil Mickelson, whose deft
scrambling kept him inside
the cut line and he finished
with a birdie for a 69. He was
seven shots behind in his quest
to complete the career Grand
Slam.
Bland will be a big part of
the weekend, and that’s the
charm of the U.S. Open.
— Kyle Gilbert, Trinity Lutheran
boys basketball coach
As a team of new faces and
expanded roles with little time
to work out the details, Trinity
Lutheran figures an eight-game
state tournament is the best
way to find its true potential.
“Our hope is to mesh finally
after a short season,” Scooty
Gilbert said. “We’ll test our lim-
its and see how tight of a unit
we can get.”

“I love that about the game,”
defending champion Bryson
DeChambeau said after a 69
left him five shots behind.
“Anybody, any age group, can
play this great game and com-
pete and contend. If you’re got
the skill set to get the ball in
the hole in the least amount of
shots, you can be up there with
the young guns.”
Bland is the classic jour-
neyman, happy to be making
a living at golf for more than
two decades, disappointed to
have not won until he broke
through last month, not nearly
surprised as most everyone
else that he was tied for the U.S.
Open.
