#Olympics24 I know they are not book related but there are so many stories, so many moments of triumph and heartbreak. I love it all.

Please feel free to add your comments about the Olympics. I will post any comments with results under a spoiler so as not to ruin anything before you have a chance to watch.

Deblovestoread Watching Stephen Nedoroscik triumph on the pommel horse brought tears to my eyes. USA men‘s clinch a bronze medal 🙌🏼 4mo
Susanita I‘m enjoying the sports I don‘t typically watch otherwise: rugby, cycling, etc. 4mo
Kitta As a former gymnast myself, I‘m loving the gymnastics coverage! I could never dream of doing what they can but it‘s fantastic to watch. I even got up at 5:30 am on Sunday to catch it live. 4mo

Deblovestoread @Susanita Same! Been enjoying the equestrian events and water polo, too. 4mo
Deblovestoread @Kitta The gymnastics, swimming and diving are my favorites. 4mo
bthegood @Deblovestoread same here - mens gymnastics fantastic - watching gymnastics and swimming (men and women) - my favorite summer sports to watch and it's been fun this year to watch with grandson (who takes gymnastics class and is in swim lessons) - 🤸 4mo
Kitta Same! The diving is incredible. Especially the synchronized diving. And I like watching swimming too. For women‘s gymnastics, Rebeca Andrade (Brazil) is going to compete a new vault that‘s never been done at the Olympics before so keep an eye out for that! 4mo
MemoirsForMe I love it all! Gymnastics, swimming, cycling, fencing, beach volleyball. The kayak rafting was so cool! I love the camaraderie and when several countries and athletes win their first-ever medal. And yes, I‘ve been crying a lot of happy tears. 4mo

#kristinl and #whartonbuddyread peeps - I have to work tomorrow to welcome our hometown Olympian back home. I‘ll post discussion questions early and check in as I can. Sorry - this came up quickly and last-minute. And we‘re a proud small(ish) town!

Currey Congratulations to Andrew and your smallish town. I suspect the Wharton discussion can accommodate your changed schedule 3y
TheBookHippie How wonderful!!! No worries ! No hurry either 🤍 3y

catebutler What a great honour for your town, and such a fun thing to celebrate! We‘ll have plenty of time to discuss Wharton. 🥰 3y
KathyWheeler I watched him diving. He‘s so good! Congratulations to him and your town. 😊 3y
Lcsmcat @KathyWheeler Isn‘t he amazing?! I can‘t believe some of the things he can do! 3y
KathyWheeler @Lcsmcat I know! Diving is my favorite sport, so I love when the Olympics come along and I can watch it. 3y
Graywacke How cool. Fun stuff. I‘m traveling tomorrow, so also checking in as i can. 3y
batsy That is super cool! I'm sorry but I'll have to pull out of the Wharton group. My mother has become quite seriously ill since last month and as a primary caregiver I've been trying to have a "normal" reading life to maintain some sanity but that's become next to impossible. So will unfortunately have to give this buddy read group a miss this time around ? 3y
Lcsmcat @batsy I‘m so sorry about your mother! Try to take care of yourself too, and reach out if there‘s anything I can do. mischalynx at msn dot com. We took years on Cather. We‘ll still be here when you‘re ready. 3y
Louise @batsy I‘m so sorry to hear that your mom is ill. I wish you both strength and healing warmth. Please keep us posted on how you are both doing. 💗🙏 3y
batsy @Lcsmcat @Louise Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughts. I truly appreciate it ❤️❤️ 3y
Suet624 Yippee! 3y
Suet624 @batsy I‘m so sorry to hear about your mom. I‘m keeping you all in my thoughts. (edited) 3y
batsy @Suet624 Thank you, Sue ❤️ 3y
