my summer Paris Olympics favs

the summer Olympics is coming to a close. and it's been a very eventful Olympics. ahh, like..it was too much going on.

it's a lot of sports happening at the same time, and a lot to keep up with.

some of my favs are the swimming, gymnastics, track & field, basketball, rowing, cycling, volleyball.

Let's talk about Katie Ledecky!!! The most decorated woman in U.S. Olympic history! WOWWWW She won 4 medals in Paris - for a total of 14. I think she broke the record for the 1500-meter freestyle. Go Katie! She's just incredible to watch.

Simone Biles - the most decorated gymnast of all time! Incredible!!! 11 Olympic medals - 7 gold medals. She won 3 gold medals in Paris and a silver. So happy for Simone. Especially after the Tokyo Olympics where she dropped out because of "the twisties". I was on pins and needles watching her on the vault. She did it and won gold! what a comeback journey for her.

Suni Lee! We have to talk about Suni. What a story. I know her family is in tears. She overcame kidney disease to compete again. She's a fighter. Suni won gold for the team event. Bronze for the all-around event, and bronze for the uneven bars. She is so good at uneven bars. I think she'll win gold next Olympics. She's just incredible to watch. Everyone was so glad to see her compete and win 3 medals. After all she's been through. What a journey.

Noah Lyles and Sha'Carri Richardson both took home a gold medal. But- it wasn't what I had in mind. Noah won the gold by five THOUSANDTHS of a second in the 100m race. What an insane finish. he was a able to get a lean in over the line. holy moly. are you kidding me- this was a wild finish. Probably one of the most talked about events in the Paris Olympics. He raced in the 200m(which is his best race) and won Bronze----with covid. yes, covid! smh he had to be carried off the track after the race. Are you kidding me?

Sha'Carri did not win the gold in the 100m. I could not believe it! ughhh but she got the silver medal. But her run in the 4x100 relay was one to remember. She took the last leg and ran past everyone to bring the gold home. She did it!!! Won gold in the 4x100 relay. This is just the beginning for Sha'Carri. She's going to be back the next Olympics for the gold in the 100 meters.

BUT Gabby Thomas did it for me. 3 GOLD Medals in Paris. WOW, I'm so happy for her. I'm a big fan of her. So proud of what she did in Paris. 200-meter, 4x100 relay, 4x400 relay. yayyyy

History was made in the men's rowing. I was screaming, goooooo, come on y'all got this. really take some strength to row through all that water. i'm still amazed at that. Gold medal - for the U.S. men four rowing team. first U.S. men's four rowing team to win Olympic gold since 1960. way to go. This was one of the first events I watched. woohoo. they really set the tone for #teamUSA

OK- before this gets too long and no one will read all this, LOL, lets talk about team USA in Basketball.

It was USA vs France for the finals in both men and women teams. And it was soooo close in the women's game. The final score: 67-66. A'ja Wilson was the Olympic MVP. Whew- this was a close one. omg too close. they had us all partly covering our eyes. hahaha. France was not playing around, Gabby Williams was phenomenal. 19 points as she carried France all the way till the last buzzer. But team USA got it done.

Diana Taurasi earned her 6th gold medal - the only Olympic basketball player with 6 gold medals. another incredible stat. Could you imagine winning the most golds as an Olympic basketball player? It's a team sport, with the best of the best. This is pretty special.

A'ja Wilson had a double double with 21 PTS, 13 REB, 4 BLK She also won the MVP award. This doesn't surprise me. A'ja is an amazing player! I knew she wouldn't disappoint. I'm not sure if she ever has any bad games. LOL

Team USA men basketball team. They defeated France 98-87 GOLD - they beat France. Steph Curry - that's it!

LeBron James won the MVP award. LeBron was amazing the entire Olympics. I just can't believe the numbers LeBron is still putting up in his career. Just wow. So is LeBron really the goat? Over Jordan? smh---this is a debate for another time. ahhh

But Step Curry's "night night" is one to remember. The dagger. He is just incredible. The basket he made over Wemby is insane. Do y'all know how tall Wemby is??? Sheeshhh

Steph is just on another level. He is. He is one of the greatest PG's in the league - in the world. Maybe the greatest PG. whew. Y'all think GSW will win another championship without Klay Thompson?

Final notes: Congrats to team USA women's volleyball- they won silver vs Italy. the men won bronze.

Congrats to Kristen Faulkner for winning gold in the women's road race. This was after her making the team as a REPLACEMENT. Woahhh. This makes the win all the better. She is the first American cyclist in 40 years to win a medal in the event. woohoo - go Krsiten! This is so cool.

This Olympics is one for the books! So many other amazing stories to be told. Records being broke, the unfavored winning. Ahhh- love it all. Feel like it's going to be so boring on the internet now that the Olympics is coming to a close.

Let me know what you think about this Olympics. Did you watch? What were your favorite moments?

[fromgreecetoanarchy]

The Olympic Games came to France a year early and this anarchist won the 100 metres gold medal The Olympic Games came to France a year early and this anarchist, outrunning a riot cop, won the 100 metres gold medal in the city of Besançon during the protest of March 28, 2023 against Macron's pension-reform that raised the retirement age to the age of 64. According to photojournalist Emma Audrey that recorded the video, the cop was unable to catch up with the protester and the latter managed to escape. The high turnout in protests in smaller french towns and cities has been a striking feature of France’s biggest protest movement in several decades. While national and international media tend to focus on the mass marches staged in Paris, turnout has often been higher – proportionally – in other parts of the country. The reason behind this lies in the fact that these mass protests and riots are not just about pensions. It's about poverty, job insecurity and the dearth of public services in rural areas, where people feel abandoned by the State. Macron boasts about unemployment figures going down, but the truth is that more, and more people live on low paid and insecure jobs, particularly women. It has to be noted that in order to pass his pension reform, President Macron bypassed parliament by resorting to article 49.3 of the French constitution, a move that outraged people and fuelled the sentiment that Macron's policies should be fought in the streets.

Nasra Abukar Ali: the Somali athlete who runs the slowest official 100-Meter race ever!

The embarrassing performance of a Somali athlete during the women’s 100-meter race at the World University Games in Chengdu, China, even prompted a public apology from the African country’s sports minister! Well….It takes really a terrible athletic performance to warrant accusations of “defaming the name of a nation in the international arena,” but the run of Nasra Abukar Ali during the women’s…
