US Ladies are doing well... been watching a bit here and there. 

Simone and Katie in particular.   

An athlete I've known since he was six and have sponsored ended up sixteenth in his fourth Olympics.  Young lady I knew as a little girl took home a bronze.  A few others I recognize from their days in Jr. competition also did very well including the podium.

I have the Peacock app, so I can watch everything Olympics related when ever I want..It's a pretty cheap subscription, $6.99/mo. they have a lot of car racing too, IMSA and Indy car.  

Then come the politics

It's awesome seeing all these people win at something they have worked so hard at. I can't even imagine the emotions for them and their families

imagine dedicating 24/7/365 of your entire life to a specific skill... that pays you literally nothing.

mad respect
