my summer Paris Olympics favs
the summer Olympics is coming to a close. and it's been a very eventful Olympics. ahh, like..it was too much going on.
it's a lot of sports happening at the same time, and a lot to keep up with.
some of my favs are the swimming, gymnastics, track & field, basketball, rowing, cycling, volleyball.
Let's talk about Katie Ledecky!!! The most decorated woman in U.S. Olympic history! WOWWWW She won 4 medals in Paris - for a total of 14. I think she broke the record for the 1500-meter freestyle. Go Katie! She's just incredible to watch.
Simone Biles - the most decorated gymnast of all time! Incredible!!! 11 Olympic medals - 7 gold medals. She won 3 gold medals in Paris and a silver. So happy for Simone. Especially after the Tokyo Olympics where she dropped out because of "the twisties". I was on pins and needles watching her on the vault. She did it and won gold! what a comeback journey for her.
Suni Lee! We have to talk about Suni. What a story. I know her family is in tears. She overcame kidney disease to compete again. She's a fighter. Suni won gold for the team event. Bronze for the all-around event, and bronze for the uneven bars. She is so good at uneven bars. I think she'll win gold next Olympics. She's just incredible to watch. Everyone was so glad to see her compete and win 3 medals. After all she's been through. What a journey.
Noah Lyles and Sha'Carri Richardson both took home a gold medal. But- it wasn't what I had in mind. Noah won the gold by five THOUSANDTHS of a second in the 100m race. What an insane finish. he was a able to get a lean in over the line. holy moly. are you kidding me- this was a wild finish. Probably one of the most talked about events in the Paris Olympics. He raced in the 200m(which is his best race) and won Bronze----with covid. yes, covid! smh he had to be carried off the track after the race. Are you kidding me?
Sha'Carri did not win the gold in the 100m. I could not believe it! ughhh but she got the silver medal. But her run in the 4x100 relay was one to remember. She took the last leg and ran past everyone to bring the gold home. She did it!!! Won gold in the 4x100 relay. This is just the beginning for Sha'Carri. She's going to be back the next Olympics for the gold in the 100 meters.
BUT Gabby Thomas did it for me. 3 GOLD Medals in Paris. WOW, I'm so happy for her. I'm a big fan of her. So proud of what she did in Paris. 200-meter, 4x100 relay, 4x400 relay. yayyyy
History was made in the men's rowing. I was screaming, goooooo, come on y'all got this. really take some strength to row through all that water. i'm still amazed at that. Gold medal - for the U.S. men four rowing team. first U.S. men's four rowing team to win Olympic gold since 1960. way to go. This was one of the first events I watched. woohoo. they really set the tone for #teamUSA
OK- before this gets too long and no one will read all this, LOL, lets talk about team USA in Basketball.
It was USA vs France for the finals in both men and women teams. And it was soooo close in the women's game. The final score: 67-66. A'ja Wilson was the Olympic MVP. Whew- this was a close one. omg too close. they had us all partly covering our eyes. hahaha. France was not playing around, Gabby Williams was phenomenal. 19 points as she carried France all the way till the last buzzer. But team USA got it done.
Diana Taurasi earned her 6th gold medal - the only Olympic basketball player with 6 gold medals. another incredible stat. Could you imagine winning the most golds as an Olympic basketball player? It's a team sport, with the best of the best. This is pretty special.
A'ja Wilson had a double double with 21 PTS, 13 REB, 4 BLK She also won the MVP award. This doesn't surprise me. A'ja is an amazing player! I knew she wouldn't disappoint. I'm not sure if she ever has any bad games. LOL
Team USA men basketball team. They defeated France 98-87 GOLD - they beat France. Steph Curry - that's it!
LeBron James won the MVP award. LeBron was amazing the entire Olympics. I just can't believe the numbers LeBron is still putting up in his career. Just wow. So is LeBron really the goat? Over Jordan? smh---this is a debate for another time. ahhh
But Step Curry's "night night" is one to remember. The dagger. He is just incredible. The basket he made over Wemby is insane. Do y'all know how tall Wemby is??? Sheeshhh
Steph is just on another level. He is. He is one of the greatest PG's in the league - in the world. Maybe the greatest PG. whew. Y'all think GSW will win another championship without Klay Thompson?
Final notes: Congrats to team USA women's volleyball- they won silver vs Italy. the men won bronze.
Congrats to Kristen Faulkner for winning gold in the women's road race. This was after her making the team as a REPLACEMENT. Woahhh. This makes the win all the better. She is the first American cyclist in 40 years to win a medal in the event. woohoo - go Krsiten! This is so cool.
This Olympics is one for the books! So many other amazing stories to be told. Records being broke, the unfavored winning. Ahhh- love it all. Feel like it's going to be so boring on the internet now that the Olympics is coming to a close.
Let me know what you think about this Olympics. Did you watch? What were your favorite moments?

if you鈥檙e a track runner, you know how frustrating it is when the person timing you doesn鈥檛 time you right
#Track#track and field#yesterday was my first track meet of the year#I got 3rd place in the 800m dash#My team won the 4x400m relay#And I got 2nd place in the 100m dash#My track team won but only bc#The other team had little to no runners#Timer#time#problems#sports#The one who timed me for the 100m dash#Stopped the timer after I crossed the finish line#The timer person also did this for the person who went on that lane before me#Like bro#wtf#i was so angry that they didn鈥檛 get it right#Like bro you suck at your job

Misandry joy giggling kicking my feet watching the olympics closing ceremony US recaps and the only star male athletes they could highlight were 1. Noah Lyles 2. Mr. Pommel Horse (deserved) 3. Guy who upset the 1500m and 4. Already nationwide famous basketball players all directly compared to Ledecky, Biles, and McLaughlin-Levrone legendarily annihilating their competition
#and also faulkner dominated in cycling but she's not a household name yet#and shacarri of course but do to the nature of sprinting her races are much tighter#they didnt even show the 4x400m relay which was so fun to watch because they were leagues ahead of everyone else#further context for all those men i listed thats only 3 golds total. cant even count how many just biles ledecky and mclaughline-levrone had

Well, the United States Track and Field Association Masters Championships in Greensboro, North Carolina are over. It was a very nice weekend to reacquaint with folks I have not seen in decades or a few years. I made some new acquaintances and surround myself with champions for fun, times, advice, and records. Thanks for the moments, USATF, Delta Airlines, Marriott Hotels, City of Greensboro, North Carolina A&T State University, and Potomac Valley Track Club. I love track and field. I did the 100m dash, 4x800m relay, Long Jump, 200m dash, 4x100m relay, 4x400m relay. Part One

Have you ever contemplated how funny it would be to show someone from the 1924 Olympics the 2024 Olympics?
Some of the sports aren't there anymore, some of the sports are new. Some if the sports have progressed in the field so much they're barely recognizable. Lots more women. Lots more countries in general.
Not to mention, everyone is so fast now. So fast. You have no idea. No she's not a mermaid, well actually, maybe. The entire field came in with 12 hundredths of a second between first and last place in the 100m. Did you see the 4x400m relay? Have you seen the gymnasts? Yep, the Seine is still disgusting. Yeah, they're still making them swim in it. Yea, this is the same issue they've had for the last few hundred years.
