My brother Doc over in Cambodia suffers from their Chinese overlords of information and has found that he hates the Olympics. No freaking way. He reported to me that the only world record broken was by some Chinese 19 year old swimmer. Say what? I found the blather and cringe of the Opening Ceremonies as distasteful as anyone, save the one classical singer atop the Grand Palais, Axelle Saint-Cirel. She killed it.
I’m looking forward to weightlifting. And yeah that Swedish dude, Duplantis broke the world record in the pole vault. Noah Lyles did his personal best in the 100, at 9.79 in the tightest, fastest race ever. Femke Bol dominated, and women’s freestyle skateboard is not boring any longer. But still the best yet was the Brit who won the triathlon in the last 30 seconds. Watching them come in and collapse, one dude puked up his guts. Hell of a show.
