emma675 February 15, 2024 Share February 15, 2024 In gymnastics news, Suni Lee and Gabby Douglas have both entered the Winter Classic competition scheduled for February 24. The US team is going to be stacked with amazing gymnasts this year, so many incredibly talented and experienced athletes. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/143330-the-road-to-paris-2024/#findComment-8286973

Good Queen Jane June 18, 2024 Share June 18, 2024 So glad NBC is showing Olympic Trials in prime time. Cannot believe that the swimming trials are being held in an NFL stadium. Great crowds. Good for you, Indianapolis! 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/143330-the-road-to-paris-2024/#findComment-8395022
annzeepark914 June 18, 2024 Share June 18, 2024 I'm really a winter Olympics fan but I love watching the summer O's opening & closing ceremonies. Watching all the athletes walking into the stadium, waving their countries' flags, always gives me a good feeling. Saw the Ralph Lauren uniforms for the USA team (sorry...don't have a link). They're typical Ralph style: preppy looking (opening ceremony) but cute & fun. Some design critic said the preppy look doesn't reflect the US today (well, did it ever?). Not sure how they'll look on the *big* guys. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/143330-the-road-to-paris-2024/#findComment-8395647
Souris June 22, 2024 Share June 22, 2024 (edited) I did not care for the jeans on the opening ceremony outfits. The closing ceremony outfits look better (albeit making the athletes look like they're NASCAR drivers) but are wildly inappropriate for the Summer Olympics -- they look absolutely sweltering. I sweat just thinking about wearing that in August. I've been so happy to watch the swimming trials this week, though I feel out of touch because there are so many top swimmers who I didn't know. Can't wait for the Olympics! Michael Phelps needs to stop calling them “girls” instead of women.

SophiaD June 28, 2024 Share June 28, 2024 Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone just won her opening heat by 18+ meters. I have to wonder if she's going to run under 50 seconds. She's just incredible. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/143330-the-road-to-paris-2024/#findComment-8401881
