I will probably be watching part of the Olympics; I'm most excited for the swimming (of course) but it's very interesting to watch all sports played at that level.

I watched the skateboarding final with Coco Yashizawa and she was my favourite skateboarder too. Also the only person who didn't fall down once.

i love the olympics! i'm typically not a sports person but the olympics are just on another level. my favorite sports to watch are diving, rowing (mostly bc that's my sport) and archery too. i also really like skateboarding and the usa basketball games because it's literally so cool to see all these incredible players playing together. gymnastics is fun to watch too.
lady gaga's performance at the opening ceremony was so cool too! i loved that it was on the senn.

Yesterday I watched women’s gymnastics! It was so fun. Spoiler-ish: The US got a gold medal, with Italy at silver and Brazil for bronze. One of the Brazilian gymnasts got a 15.100, the most I saw the whole time.
