I enjoy the swimming events and the women's gymnastics teams.
But this Olympics I'm also looking forward to the skateboarding and surfing events. Those sound like fun.

Simone Biles's withdrawal only underscores the importance of all of us taking care of our mental health. It's no use winning a gold medal if you lose your sanity. Just as it's no use fighting for promotion, or academic success, or fame if the price you have to pay is your mind or your family, or your spirituality. That would be trading a lot for a little.

The women's aquatic marathon gold medal was given to an athlete who was born in the same city I was born...
