(2/2) As her second Olympics approaches, being herself (AKA being *that* girl, as her fans say) is the name of the game for Jordan Chiles this time around: "My brain now is like, 'You don’t have anything to prove.' I’m going out there for myself.” https://t.co/rcOrZNOL32

Infographics – Men in Paris
Quickest and easiest way to see who’s competing Olympics 2024 is through a series of infographics.
For example.
WHY no city wants to host the Olympics
Biles II in Paris
Nike – You Can’t Stop Us
Probably the greatest Olympics video of all time.
Celebrating the athletes who persisted even after the Tokyo 2020 Games were postponed.
It won the Emmy for Outstanding Commercial – 2021.

Shoko Miyata sent home from Olympics
Shoko Miyata, the 19-year-old captain of Japan’s women’s artistic gymnastics for the Paris Olympics, for smoking violation — against their conduct code.
I’m a coach. Teams must have rules that are enforced.
BUT in this case I would have voted for a lesser penalty.
As it turns out, the entire team suffers.
BEST Olympic inspiration video
Kids will be inspired by Paris.
AAMI Insurance company wants to warn parents — in advance. 😀

GymCastic Power Rankings – Paris
Crunching the numbers …
- Simone Biles
- Rebeca Andrade
- Suni Lee
- Qiu Qiyuan
- Manila Esposito
- Kaylia Nemour
- Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos
- Jade Carey
- Alice D’Amato
- Zhou Yaqin
Of course only TWO can qualify for the AA Final from each nation.
If there is a surprise podium medal — I’m guessing it would be Kaylia or Manila.
Of course it’s probably a mistake to underestimate Mélanie in her home nation.

PARIS Team Medal Contenders
Kensley has crunched the numbers.
She likes Japan for Gold. China for Silver.
The fight for Bronze should be between Ukraine, USA, and GBR.
Personally, I feel USA is slightly favoured.
