Sportsmanship at its best! Go USA!
Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles showed love to Rebeca Andrade after she won her first gold medal of the Paris Olympics ❤️

I saw that in a preview for the Olympics.
I don't even drink milk, and I neeeeeeded a milk mustache.
She's perfection.

No way that dude isn't a hitman. He's definitely won the Olympics, though. Just... won. No contest. Showing up in your t-shirt, hand in pocket, making a sniper shot, and going home to your cat.
That's like my life, except that I don't win a silver medal. Or shoot. Or like... any of it.... except that I have a cat.

That made me so proud, to see the way our megastars are incredible sports. That's what the world needs more of.
I love this year's Olympics so much. I'm watching surfing right now. For the buttcrack! I mean the talent!

LOL! I loved this headline! I think I've pulled for Australia more so than the US this year! Way to freaking go! I haven't been this excited since the Jamaican National Bobsledding Team back in '88 debuted!
Tiny Australia is an Olympic superpower
The next notable medal performance - in some ways the most remarkable - is Australia. The country has a relatively tiny population - about the same as Texas.
But anchored by a stunningly talented swim team (and a strong group of canoe racers) Australian athletes have racked up a crazy number of total medals (43 currently), including 18 gold. It's Australia's best medal performance ever.
That represents an unbelievable per capita medal score. Consider this: The U.S. is winning roughly one Olympic medal for every 3.5 million citizens. Australia is winning one medal for every 570,000 citizens.

It was really a great celebration. I am waiting for winter games now.
