The Pairs Olympics are here and are already making news. Some truly inspiring Openning Ceremony moments have taken place and yep, terrorism on Paris trains. We've made some predictions over the past several months on the games too so it will be interesting to see what transpires.

Please put your Olympic and Paris thoughts here where we can discuss the great ( and not so great) Olympic moments.

Information below on the Paris train disruption attacks. Most lines in and out of the city affected including a couple Olympic athlete trains. I am not aware of any injuries.

@unk-p I think that should become a thing. "I love my Black job." Ketanji Brown Jackson, Lloyd Austin, Leticia James, Barack Obama, Colin Powell (loved) to name a few...and so, so, so many more.

Maybe it is just me, but I have seen so many incredible moments during these Olympics.  They seem so full of Spirit's light, hope and redemption. So MANY different countries have reason to celebrate too. 

I hope you are all enjoying them.

@lowtide yeah, Black jobs, like, i dunno...  Presidenting.

Simone for VP!

Can you imagine the VP debates, if Simone Biles was a candidate?  Every time JD Vance tries to say something stupid about women, Simone would just do a triple-quadruple somersault over his Cabbage Patch doll head, lol

What a day for Olympic Competition!!

First time ever medals for tiny island nations (and gold too!)

Katie Ledecky, Simone Biles. Crouser ( shotput).  All three are GOAT members in their fields.  Just amazing stuff!
