Yes! USA water polo talks about it non stop. It's very cool! (Although the best water polo players are generally funded by wealthy parents once they come close to the national team pipeline)

I will root for Noah Lyles because USA but after watching SPRINT on Netflix I won't enjoy it.  He tries to bring the swag and confidence like Usain Bolt but he has none of Bolt's charisma. He's very fast though.
Lyles is awesome and I will be cheering for sure but Usain Bolt was just an entirely different entity. An actual GOAT. The GOAT-iest of all GOATs.

Imagine being able to beat anyone in the entire world in a foot race for more than a decade.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

The coverage is so crappy. Mike Tirico talks, they say what's coming up next, 5 minutes of commercials, come back to Tirico, tease whats up next, show 90 seconds of highlights, maybe show a swimming heat......

Just buy a Peacock subscription for $10 and watch whatever you want, whenever you want and cancel it in a month

On the flip side, Mike Tirico is great and I love his enthusiasm

That’s wild and awesome, unlike Mike Trico, who is trash.

Many of the venues are amazing, see: the beach volleyball in front of the Eiffel Tower

The fencers walk out on this high balcony opposite the stands and then descend one of two giant curvy staircases on either side of the balcony. It's pretty epic.

Watched boxing the other night.  When did they quit wearing headgear in Olympic boxing? Looked it up and headgear got dropped in 2016.

the olympic committee should allow athletes to use any type of sword they want to instead of the shitiest one ever invented
