Women’s Gymnastics All Around
Don’t have much to add here from what you’ve probably already seen or read. So happy to see Simone complete the redemption tour from Tokyo. I really enjoyed watching Rebecca Andrade and happy to see her get silver. And of course Suni Lee, so exciting she came back after all her health challenges to win another medal in the all around competition. They showed so many pictures of her sitting on the sidelines at Auburn with her feet elevated that I’m hoping pictures like the one below will wipe out all the other ones.
Men’s 20km Race Walk
Race Walk continues to be such a fascinating sport. If you watched the full broadcast you probably also saw a lot of close-up, slow motion thigh action which was a very interesting choice. And I feel like it actively showed everyone have a little bit of airtime. But I wanted to celebrate the gold medalist, Brian Daniel Pintado Álvarez of Ecuador, for his fashionable finish line lewk. Bringing back ascots to the Olympic games, love it.
