Hello there!
Happy Monday to all.
The Olympics are over, which is extremely sad. What will we all hyperfocus on now? There’s always the Paralympics, which will start in a few weeks. We should all be supporting gold-medalist Tara Davis-Woodhall’s husband.
Light set of recs this week because I’ve basically only watched sports for the past two weeks. Highly recommend some replays of the Olympics, if you’re so inclined. Artistic swimming is incredible. Rhythmic gymastics? I need to see more of it. The men’s and women’s gold medal basketball matches! Plus the marathons! It’s all great television.
With the end of House of the Dragon, it’s time to find another show to watch on Sunday nights. If you haven’t gotten on the Industry train, you have to get on to it now. The third season just started! And if you want a bit of a GoT connection, good boy Kit Harrington has joined the cast.
India’s Star Wrestler was Disqualified. Why Her Story Matters.
Vinest Phogat was disqualified from the gold medal match because she was 100g over the weight limit. It’s a heartbreaking loss given the journey she has been on to make it to this stage.
