Great first day of action in the softball! Now to switch over my attention to women’s football

Here we go again for v

Great start to the Games! Definitely pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed that game. God I’ve missed this! I’m definitely in the Olympic mood now

If anyone beats this US team then they deserve a gold medal

Avril Lavigne “Skater Boi” playing in the stadium, seems like we are back in the early 2000s

doing a great job so far!

Maybe it’s because it’s the first competition of the Games but I’m enjoying this so far

OMG yes!!

I got up at 03:00 this morning which means I am now on Pakistan time or Tashkent My plan is to be able to get up around midnight during the Games (most days the competition starts after 01:00 here but some days it starts before that). I’m getting there

Agreed! They look wonderful
