Omg this uphill bike race looks awful. Nothing about that looks enjoyable.
The water polo was interesting for a minute. Those women are so strong!

Ope. YouTubeTV was trolling me and kept starting back at the beginning instead of where I ended watching before switching channels.
Watching women’s water polo (USA v Japan) and my mother is acting like I’m a wiki for this sport. I keep telling her I’ve never watched it before, yet the questions continue.

Just start making stuff up.

Just start making stuff up. Oh, I would, but instead I tell her to listen to the commentator because that is what they are saying. But no, they are treading and cannot touch the bottom, that I am certain of. Yes, even in the penalty box.

I'm always like 🤷🏼♀️

I didn't watch the parade of nations but my TikTok was promptly filled with recordings of Portugal going banana pants 😂 vm.tiktok.com/ZMdWddQTF/ I almost tagged you in, it was perfection.

For anyone looking to watch without cable, I’ve been watching with YouTube TV. Free 2 week trial! I need to figure out if I can do a second trial with MH’s login for the final days or if I do another app’s trial. Yogurt

I told H this embarrassing story earlier: the year was 2000, I was in my first of of junior college, it was Michael Phelps’ first olympics. I was enthralled and completely fell in love; with him and with the sport of swimming. (Never mind that I hadn’t actively been apart of any swimming practice since I was like 7). I had a class on discovering your major and your passions, stuff like that. The teacher asked me my goal for the next 5 years. I swear to god I said “swim in the olympics like Michael Phelps”. Lol! So she was like “oooh you’re a swimmer?!” And I was like “no. I plan to start now though” 😂 God I’m an idiot.
I still love to watch swimming though.

I would like to have a word with Nastia’s stylist. She is gorgeous, why do they keep putting her in weird ass shit that completely overwhelms her?! Also, watched beach volleyball and both Americans are from about 20min from me. So, I am basically an Olympian.

I'm loving the swimming too! I think Canada's team is so promising this year. We had to pull up Penny's 100m from last olympics for all the feels to kick things off
