“THE OLYMPICS”
==========

It is here, the Paris Olympics.

It is a welcome break from the things we are experiencing in life right now.
..Trump-vs-Biden
..Republicans-vs-Democrats
..Israel-vs-Hamas
..Russia-vs-Ukraine
..Padres-vs-Dodgers
..NFL-vs-Anti Trust Lawsuit

All that goes on and on and on.

But for the next 19-days, we get a different look at sports, the Olympiad, wrapped around the Eiffel Tower.

The games will be on NBC and it’s network of stations wrapped around the coverage Peacock provides.

There are 329-events across the Olympic menu.

There are 529-USA athletes wearing the colors and competing in 31-events.

The opening ceremonies are 10-30am-Friday (Pacific) and there is a 9-hour time difference between us here and those celebrating on the Seine River.

So many big names to follow, regardless of the sport.

Track and field, led by 100-dash star Sha’Carri Richardson.

Like gymnastics, this is history as Simone Biles, who has won 7-medals, returns.

In swimming you only need to watch when it is Katie Ladecky, 10-medals strong.

American sprinter Noah Lyles could be gold in both the 100-200 meter events.

Of course there is LeBron James leading Team USA-basketball, and many of the stars from the WNBA-seeking women’s basketball gold.

It’s a fun event.  Time stops from all of our problems, to watch those representing our flag.

We’ve seen so much greatness in recent years, from Michael Phelps to Usain Bolt to Carl Lewis, this is a 19-days to look forward too.

Pick an event, pick any time of day, and you can follow.  Fly and flag too for our American athletes.  It’s worth watching
