• Lebron bringing in the flag on the boat for the Olympic Opening Ceremony was like George Washington crossing the Delaware.

  • The creativity of the Liberian Olympic Opening Ceremony outfits designed by Telfar was unmatched.  The neckline was shaped like the country! 

  • Simone Biles is truly the GOAT, evidenced by the GOAT necklace she wore, which no one gave her flack for because she is indeed the GOAT. 

  • Seeing skateboarding in the Olympics just feels right.

  • Noah Lyles’ photo finish at the 100m race is one of the most fervent examples of track and field as a sport of seconds…well actually milliseconds.

  • How in the hell do Olympic divers do all these aerial maneuvers and make the smallest splash ever!?

  • Shoutout to Chase Budinger for coming from the NBA and then playing in the Olympics for the USA in Volleyball.

  • The waves from Tahiti for Olympic Surfing looks like something out of an impressionistic Van Gogh painting.

  • One of the most enthralling things I watched all Olympics was the Women’s BMX racing. Every race you could feel the velocity of the riders bikes and precision it took to make every turn on the course.

  • Snoop Dogg becoming the de facto mascot/representative for the Olympics is probably the best thing the US could have done.

  • France crawling back from a 3-1 deficit in the second half of the Men’s soccer final was incredible to watch even though Spain ended up winning in extra time.

  • This year’s U.S. women track team is up there with the top sports dynasties of all time.

  • Hate to see the pole vaulter from France get held up by his *cough cough* French Baguette.

  • Great to see history made with the women’s gymnastics final floor podium in which all of the medal winners were black.

  • The fact that Kristin Faulkner, the  US woman who won the gold medal in the road cycling event started cycling 7 years ago was pretty insane. 

  • If there was any doubt that Sha’Carri Richardson was the next generation of Olympic superstar, it was put to rest with her stare down win of the 4×100 relay gold.

  • Aja Wilson isn’t just a WNBA star. She is a sports superstar. 

  • Even though they lost, both French basketball teams deserve a round of applause for their performances in their respective gold medal games.

  • The French women’s basketball team was a footstep on the three point line away from sending the gold medal game to overtime. Oh mon Dieu!! 

  • Lebron calling the US men’s basketball team The Avengers is the most fitting nickname ever. 

  • I do not see any end in sight for the Australian breakdancing memes.

  • So the Turkish shooter and Japanese shooter should have a spin off movie about them where they are rival assassins, right? 

  • The US Women’s Soccer team should have a permanent statue in the Soccer Hall of Fame.

  • Sha’Carri’s Richardson’s nails deserve their own zip code.

  • Steph Curry getting this shot over Wemby should be in the Louvre. 

  • Anthony Edwards and the USA table tennis team is the sitcom I didn’t know I needed.
