Hi Rob, as always at this level of competition, everyday brings surprises....I love watching competitors at this level. Last night I loved the look of relief and happiness on Aly Raisman's face as soon as she stuck her last landing, everything melted out of her instantly.....and Simone Biles, wow, what a combination of power and elegance.

I hope Bolt is at his best, he is unwordly when he gets it going, completely spectacular.

In the high hurdles, Devon Allen looks like he is breaking out of a plateau, and ready to really lower his best times. He's a wide receiver for Oregon, also...phenomenal athlete.

Can't wait for Track and Field to get going.....

Nice riding Rob, and great write up of your experience! Scott

In 1983, my buddy Tinker and I walked down the length of the brand new bobsled run built for the '84 Sarajevo games....here's what it looks like today...

As much as I love playing golf....it's an odd fit for an olympic sport....weird.
it's a good fit if you call the play by play in futbol-ese.
