So far I've been enjoying this Summer Olympics. So often the commentators take extreme delight in talking about the 'medal race' and how the U.S. is trouncing everyone else. This not only seems to not be in the spirit of the Olympics but I don't think they adjust the number of medals per athlete participating. The U.S. sends a lot more athletes than any other country. So far I've seen snippets of all sorts of competitions - taekwondo, archery, shooting, fencing. Just enough to make viewing interesting. As the games wear on, the newscasters will probably fall into their old nationalistic banter. For now though, watching the Olympics is a nice respite from the continuing coronavirus coverage.
