  • Least favorite moment was all the negativity surrounding the Australian breakdancer. One or two memes were okay. Everything afterward felt like middle school and not in the Olympic spirit at all.

    One of the many favorite moments was the support from the crowds for the female marathon runner from Bhutan (Kinzang Lhamo), who crossed the finish line after 4 hours. Also the cheering for Leon Marchand every time he came up for air. And let’s not forget the opening ceremony, which was a great spectacle to watch on TV! Overall I loved the incredibly photogenic settings, from volleyball under the Eiffel Tower, to fencing in the Grand Palais, just absolutely gorgeous!


  • They will definitely help, but we are starting at such a pathetic level that even all those improvements will be nowhere near European levels. I looked up the projects on Wikipedia and a bunch of them are Express Lanes. That just means having to pay to drive on the freeway with slightly less traffic than in the other lanes. That’s not exactly an improvement, unless you are a shareholder of Express Lanes.
