So after the first day Australia is leading the medal tally with three gold medals. Yay! 🎉 🥳

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi! Oi! Oi!

I will now bask in the glory for a moment until the bigger countries catch up.

Feel free to post any Olympics themed posts here.

After day three host nation: Japan, has secured top spot.

Australia has slipped to fourth. Oh well, it was good while it lasted. 😊

I just noticed that I repeatedly wrote “host nation” when I meant to write “previous host nation”. Weird!

Latest results are here. Interesting to see that Great Britain has improved. France and Japan are doing well, which makes sense.

When Black Means Gold (Hail, Simone)

A piece written in celebration of Simone Biles
Subdued greatness awaiting, in her poise.
Siloed stillness, that shuts out all the noise.

She takes a breath, & moves in strides.
Arms spreading like dusk, fists pumping, at her sides.

Her ignited frame begins, in it's rise,
An ecliptic moon, over Paris skies.

Her every movement, a sudden of flips.
We witness the beauty of La Chapelle's eclipse.

Up there, she dances quick, in peerless flight.
Elegance that spins, skin like the night.

She comes back down, in a meteoric landing.
A smile, & a grace, yet withstanding.

At once, she is both calm, & cyclone.
A pride to her Country, we hail Simone.

She is history, living, & to be told.
She is the epitome of, when black means gold.

Great poem celebrating a great athlete, well done!

I hope she is still competing when the Olympics come to Australia in 2032.

I want to have Katie Ledecky's baby.

That is all.


(But yes, all hail The Queen, Simone Biles....also can't wait to watch Sha'Carri Richardson run. CAN'T WAIT. This year is the rise of the goddesses)

That would almost certainly result in hybrid pulitzer prize/Olympic gold medalist. I like the potential

You think small. She is the most perfect female on the planet, 6 foot and an unstoppable force of nature. I am a lowly marathon runner and just under six feet. (But I have a swimmers build — broad shoulders and a really long torso.)

Our spawn would take over the world.

This is the only time in my life I wish I had dick and balls. (Sigh)

Also the rest of Olympics is super fun. Snoop Dog is my hero.

1. China
2. United States
3. France
4. Australia
5. Great Britain

Standings as of today. You should be proud Australia is still in the top five!

In local news, North Carolina's Kaylyn Brown sealed the deal for the United States and sets a NEW WORLD RECORD in the mixed 4x400m relay. It was exciting watching a home state girl win.
