I'm so sick of the Simone Biles nonsense. It's a shame more people aren't talking about this wonderful story and what I believe the Olympics spirit is all about.

No UberEats commercials, no pre-Olympics coronation. Just a humble teenager from the sticks of Alaska coming out of nowhere to win the gold as her friends and family go nuts watching her do it.

Saw this last night. Heartwarming! It was old time sports, the stuff of Frank Capra movies. Loved it!

You probably have to learn to swim really fast in Alaska.

“I’m so sick of the Simone Biles nonsense. “

It’s not nonsense.
She’s a tremendous American athlete.
I hope she recovers and kicks butt on Thursday.

Training in ice cold heavy seawater probably builds strength and endurance so that swimming through a warm chlorine pool is a breeze!

I’m surprised to see so many masks in Alaska.

I wasn’t too enthusiastic about these games, but this is my favorite moment so far! Screw the celebrity prima donnas.
