I have enjoyed the olympics much more than I thought I would. (Utee-you listening)
I have been very moved by some of the individual performances, the sheer athleticism of some of these athletes- and the class and pride with which some of these athletes have carried themselves through winning and disappointment.
Did you see the American wrestler today who won gold? She was amazing. The two high jumpers who agreed to share the gold? That was so cool. The runner who got tangled up with another runner and fell, and they help each other up and walked to the finish line together?
I look up to Simone Biles even more now, which is saying a lot, for how she handled herself and for cheering for her team.
I have enjoyed track and field, swimming, soccer, volleyball ( indoor and beach), water polo ( Holy shit are those people in great physical condition) gymnastics, basketball and even badminton.
I wish there was more showing of boxing.
I will also say- the American athletes have pretty much made me proud in how they have carried themselves on the field and in interviews.
