We have been watching mostly men’s and women’s gymnastics and diving. ( Watching women’s uneven bars individual finals as I type this.) Men’s gymnastics has been especially exciting with Steven N. and Frederick R. from Massachusetts. I always enjoy your articles so much and have always loved watching the Olympics. Last weekend at Springfield College we celebrated the 40th anniversary of Jeff Blatnick’s ‘79 gold medal win in Greco Roman wrestling. Jeff’s widow and daughter joined us and brought his gold medal. It was a special day. (Just now…nice bars routine by Suni Lee -Bronze Medal! 🤸‍♀️😊) I always enjoy Tim Daggett’s commentary as well. He is a native of Western Mass and his gym (Daggett Gymnastics) is 5 minutes from our home in Agawam and is where Amy and Megan went when they were little. (He has since sold the gym. At the time when Amy and Megan were going, he was coaching his son Peter and the Level 9s and 10s so we would often see him in the gym. ) Thinking of you.😊

I enjoy having it on while I’m puttering around the house during the day. I agree-Snoop Dog is just having fun and sharing his joy with us all. I enjoy him.

Best of all is watching these athletes-especially the young ones sharing their passion with us. And how neat to see folks from all over the world come together for fun in sports!
