“ALL THINGS OLYMPICS”
=======
What a weekend in Paris, as they wrapped up the first week of the Olympics.
Things I saw and liked:
SIMONE BILES…Continues to pile up the gold-with dominant precisions displays in such a wide variety of events. 7-Golds now in her collection.
GOLD MEDAL..Biles deserves a different kind of Gold Medal, for her work on Mental Health, and that is okay to aask for help, that counseling is not a negative. What a great influence on so many young people who are having problems. Where she was in Tokyo when she pulled out of the Olympics, to where she is at this hour, as a person and athlete remarkable.
TAKE THAT TRUMP..Biles sounded off too about politics with her pointed mocking of Donald Trump…’I enjoy my black job’ after Trump last week said migrants were taking ‘black peoples jobs’. Another deranged, classless, no value derogatory comment.
WAVE A FLAG…What a story of perseverance, Ukraine high jumper Yaro Mahuchikh winning the Gold for her country in the high jump, a country she was forced to flee in the wake of the bombings by Putin’s Russia.
NOT ON TV…Did you know Russian TV is not televising the Olympics back there. Yes there are 17-athletes there, but they are ‘independents’..cannot wear Russian logos on jerseys…cannot have their anthem played if they win medals..and were not in the openiung ceremonies. The IOC says it does not want politics in the game, but banning innocent athletes from honors sure seems political too me.
NOAH LYLES…The high octane personality sprinter reels off an impressive come from behind win to get Gold in the 100-meter men’s event. High energy-explosive style and now he gets to run in his favorite event, the 200M race midweek
BOBBY IN THE POOL…An Olympic record, a World record, the Men’s 1500-free style for Bobby Finke-blowing away the field.
KEEPING SCORE…Katie Ladecky medal count now at 12 including 9-goals.
SCHEFFLER-DJOKOVIC…What a sight, them winning Golf-Tennis, and weeping on the podium with their medals as their anthems were played. What a signal about the importance of the flag and country, for two guys who own their sports.
SUNI LEE..What a comeback story. Last January, in a hospital bed with a kidney disorder, now she comes back and wins 3-medals this week including a Gold, wondering how she could train, get strong and compete, much less collect medals.
BRETT FISHER…Comes from nowhere to win the Bronze medal in the gruelling 10,000-Men’s event. To celebrate, he dumped into an ice bath tub with his medal.
MOM-BABY..How cool for US swimmer Ryan Murphy to get a silver medal, stand and turn towards his wife in the stands, who promptly held up a sign ‘It’s a Girl’, telling the future dad what was coming next in his life.
All that plus great events and a 2nd week just ahead of us in Paris.

‘
what is your problem, Hacksaw ? You’re becoming the
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) of the sports world. No one is interested in your inane politics. Stick with your announced “One man’s opinion ON SPORTS” as advertised, or change the title.
Your bias is so obvious, it’s sickening. Why don’t you attack that dumb ass president we have. You could write a book on his corruption and incompetency. How did he become a millionaire as a ‘public servant’? Huh? What about his criminal son? You may know sports but you’re minor league when it comes to your political views. Trump will go down in history as one of the best, when his record as president is impartially viewed years from now.
Free speech or not, I’m done with the so-called ‘Best 15 minutes in sports and political commentary.”
