So weird watching swimming then switching over to hockey or short track speed skating. It feels like both the Winter and Summer Olympics are happening at the same time

I've been daring to believe Wiffen could do something big in Paris for a couple of years now but this is really beyond my wildest dreams. Hopefully he can replicate his performances here in Paris but I imagine the opposition will be even stiffer there. Still though, going to celebrate this remarkable achievement for what it is.... 2 gold medals is insane
