Spelling Bee
Spelling Bee
Today is apparently the final; once again I almost missed realizing because our customary poster stopped observing the custom.
They mentioned it on my area's local news cast earlier. All of the Chicago contestants have been knocked out and ESPN is carrying it tonight.

The semifinals were really good this year. Over half knocked out in the first round all with high quality words. Changing it back to spell until you drop definitely gets the best of the bunch on the stage tonight.
Jairam Hathwar is definitely the favorite tonight. Really good understanding of roots which is the telling separator between good and the winners.
Snehaa Ganesh Kumar is also up there in the rankings. She tied for fourth last year in what was the end of the 2010 era golden age for the spelling bee.
Cooper Komatsu, Smrithi Upadhyayula, and suprisingly Nihar Janga would be the next tier contenders in my opinion.
EDIT: I Think the Spelling Bee has been broken. Wow.

So there hadn't been cochampions for over 50 years; now it's happened three years in a row. But this year there were actually chances to have a solo winner, but they kept both missing.
