Gotta say, not feeling the Olympics right now. All that Covid lost year which makes this one 3 years since the last one has me out of sorts.

Hopefully all goes well and we get to watch some great olympics games.

I have two seats front row for the 3rd place finals so if the USA wants to lose in the semi finals it's ok. I'am sure I'll get to see two great teams either way.

Opening was really beautiful I thought.

Definitely much more special being the "out of the box" show. Not just the typical "let's talk for 40 minutes, introduce the countries in the stadium, have some random acts". They went outdoors, countries on boats, a full on street party of sorts.

The one I'm looking forward to will be LA in 2028. You know that'll be the most Hollywood/celebrity ceremony you can ever imagine.

My people (Puerto Rico) made it in for both men and women basketball, so hopefully we don't go winless in either group :P

Josh Giddey is different in this setting

Canada vs Greece today should be good. I'd imagine their game plan is just double team Giannis and let everyone else on that team try to score?

And locally in Canada at least the game will be called by former ESPN and now current Jays broadcaster Dan Shulman.

Not the best start to today’s game vs Serbia, but so far, LeBron stepping up.
