July 22, 20241 yr I'm looking forward to swimming, being a swammer myself. I know one person competing in the Olympics this time around: Erin Gemmell, daughter of Bruce Gemmell (Katie Ledecky's former coach before college). I remember Erin when she was 8 years old, if not before that.
July 23, 20241 yr Breakdancing (breaking) will be a medal sport. Snoop Dog is carrying the torch on one of the last legs.

July 26, 20241 yr I found it to be pretty fantastic. A bit slow with some of the boats but that is part of the game.

July 27, 20241 yr Im watching. Enjoying it a bit but also checked out a few youtuve videos in the meantime. Based on a yahoo article that pretty much provides a timeline of things that happened, it looks like we are pretty close to the end now.
July 27, 20241 yr they had to zoom on in ShaCarri's face because she was trying to let the girls fly. lol.
July 27, 20241 yr The torch is finally lit. This brodacast started at 7:30. This was almost as long as a college football game. Next time they should get faster boats. I thought it was pretty cool. I enjoyed the architecture in the background as the boats passed, and the history. It just could have been a little bit shorter. Ill probably never figure out how they will keep that torch lit for 2 weeks seeing as how its not attached to the ground to be fed fuel. Im sure I could read about it, but Im enjoying the mystery of how thats gonna work.
July 27, 20241 yr I stopped watching when they stopped having different sports live on different channels. To me, Olympics means track & field. Everything else is a baloney.
July 28, 20241 yr Leave it to the French to go so abstract on everyone, with the naked blue man at the Last Supper, and the balloon cauldron, and the beheaded singer.
July 28, 20241 yr And the first gold medalists for the US are "Cook/Bacon"! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/sports/synchronized-divers-sarah-bacon-and-kassidy-cook-serve-up-first-us-medals/ar-BB1qJ9Ff?ocid=BingNewsBrowse
July 28, 20241 yr It's nice waking up and having live Olympics on, like how people on the West Coast can have NFL games on in the morning.

July 28, 20241 yr Was America ever good at water polo? This team looks like they have no business being here
