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.

Sigh, the closing ceremony. Hopefully I'll live to see another! Way to go, "Tiny Australia"! You were THIRD IN GOLD!

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