Absolutely love this, and the Olympics too! I have a very vivid memory of watching ice skating with you in your parent’s living room as kids, and both of us trying to do the various jumps onto and off of the couch. I also remember the 1996 gymnastics team and how exciting it was to watch Kerri Strugg land that last vault on one leg. Incredible! This year, Noah Lyles’s story is amazing, and even more so now that he won bronze in the 200m race two days after testing positive for Covid (with asthma)! Afterwards he said how proud he was of that bronze, in contrast to his disappointment with the same finish in Tokyo, which I think says a lot about his character and growth between the two Games. So many other stories in these games, as well! I just love it! And I love reading your weekly posts - it’s a great way to start my Fridays 😊 Thank you!
Awww thank you Courtney! I remember that too. I’m so glad to hear your love of the Olympics has continued. It means so much that you read each week! ❤️
Yessssss!! Love this. Didn’t know most of this, as I haven’t been watching as much, but thank you for curating this!!! Gives me goosebumps.
And yeah. Watching Noah lit me UP!! I’m so glad David set his alarm for that one, because watching him jump to the sky when they introduced him and seeing how close that win was…and yes!! Watching him congratulate the other guy…was just…so…cool. Something about his energy and the way he just owned it. I loved it.
