I loooooove the Olympics! I get prouder to be an American and become an expert on several sports I was previously vaguely familiar with. I stand up and yell at the tv, cheering people on despite the fact I'm thousands of miles away and could be watching an event that already happened several hours ago. Whatever. I love the PG mom commercials. They all make me cry and simultaneously hopeful I'm that kind of mom to my kids now even though they are not currently Olympic athletes. I love the back stories and the rivalries and just all of it.
Last night I watched some swimming and now Lilly King is on my list of people I'd like to meet and high five. She thought it was inappropriate that a Russian swimmer who had been disqualified due to doping was cleared for competition AND thought she would definitely win. Lilly King vocally but not inappropriately voiced her disdain for the situation. And then the very best part was SHE WON THE GOLD MEDAL after that, setting an Olympic record AND beating the Russian.
I. Freaking. Love. It.
