Yesterday the teams got to run through their routines in the arena and you can watch them on Peacock (search for podium)
There are no announcers on the broadcast and no one in the stands, it’s just sights and sounds of gymnastics for 90 minutes.
Really pleasant and what I most love about Olympicsstreaming

I’m having so much fun watching these elite athletes battle it out. I’m laughing, I’m crying, I’m learning about the intricacies of BMX. I’ve watched many Olympics before of course but I feel something is happening to me and I’m deeply invested this time. Never have I watched rowing and cared, but this year?? I care.
Striving for excellence against the odds, comebacks that make me weep, feats of strength and endurance… humanity! What’s not to love!!!

The best is weird stuff where you don’t know the rules like shotput, triple jump, diving. Nothing too exciting

^ that icon reminded me of the Olympics, and the chaos that organised events can hold. Like the Olympics today is highly regarded as a celebration of peak human physicality, but its' history is really fascinating and also works with the claim to put normal people in the events today so we can understand how far we have all come lol
One guy disappeared in the 1912 marathon, royalty participated, there's the Jamaican bobsleigh team that had a whole movie based on their experiences at the Winter edition (Cool Runnings) etc etc.

The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.
People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.
