I’m watching the women’s 800m free final. That is a LOT of laps. I’m always impressed with athletes but there’s something about swimming that really impresses me. I think of how tired I get treading water for a few minutes…

Mykayla Skinner saying on IG that she’ll be in the vault finals so I’m guessing Biles is out of event finals now too.

Still serious but this is cautiously optimistic for Connor Fields.

Track and field has been so much fun to watch this morning. Some unbelievable performances. There’s a 19 year old from the USA who looked amazing in the 800 meter semifinals. She basically breezed home and strolled off the field, while everyone collapsed around her. Can’t wait to see her in the finals!

This made me laugh today. Like a hopeless kind of laugh, but still.

I think of how tired I get treading water for a few minutes… My husband says this. I tell him that 800m was our warm up for practice. It was the distance you did BEFORE you did the hard stuff. He just mumbles “god, I hated swimming.” He was a diver; I cannot do his skills either!

DD1 is super into the equestrian events. So we’re currently watching the cross country. At the first water jump the first horse and rider both went headfirst into the water. It looked so bad! Luckily they both walked away.

These two won gold in rowing for Ireland a couple days ago, The beard and man bun threw me off, but Paul O'Donovan won silver in Rio with his brother, Gary, and they gave this hilarious interview at the time: www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10154041204478579

This would be a wonderful to have as a baseline vm.tiktok.com/ZMdcvQpuA/Who has Peacock+ and has been watching Snoop and Kevin Hart? I do not and saw a few clips on Twitter. There was another where they are commenting on the countries walking in and what they are wearing. Another where they discuss how adding a word makes a sport a whole other sport. So funny.

That was a great relay! And a WR too. Dressel looks completely exhausted, now he can rest. What an Olympics for him!
I just saw his wife in a commercial for Comcast (talking about him obviously). I don't know if I've seen that in past. Parents I've seen, but not spouses. I could be wrong though and never noticed before.

I’m up early and watching gymnastic event finals Israel has won their first gymnastics medal gold in men’s floor. It was down to a difficulty tie breaker for the gold medal!
