Technical Tidbits 8/22: Tech graduate Lowe performs well in Rio, UGA swimmer realizes he wasn't robbed
Kevin D. Liles-USA TODAY SportsGeorgia Tech graduate and Olympic athlete Chaunté Lowe fell just short of bringing home a medal for the United States over the weekend, finishing fourth in the women's high jump behind the representatives of Spain, Bulgaria, and Croatia in that order. Lowe, who still owns the record for the highest jump of 2016 (at 2.01 meters, set at the Olympic trials), was just a brush of her leg away from heading straight to the top of the podium; had she cleared her final 2.00 meter jump, she would've won the gold. Unfortunately, it just wasn't meant to be this time around. Congratulations to Chaunté on competing so well in her fourth Olympic games.
