I think my sports itch has been soundly satisfied for a while. That was a fantastic Olympics. We were in third place on the medal talley right up until the Japanese wrestlers wiped the floor with everyone over the weekend.

The heartwarming little video of the US Long Jumper and her husband got me to wondering how many similar stories were untold among the Ten Thousand athletes. A couple of the Marathon Walkers kissed at their introduction. Because they’re engaged.They keep talking about the thousands of condoms issued to athletes in the village, but some of those hookups turn into something more. It’s all very sweet. I love how positive the tournament has been in general.

Anyway, I still have a few events left to watch - probably tonight/tomorrow night. Maybe the Closing ceremony. Then I’ll go back to not really watching sports all that much any more. At least until the 2026 World Cup.
