I’ve enjoyed a lot of takes on the Olympics, but may love @artbutmakeitsports the best. My runner up is probably the self-deprecating trends “sorry to say I didn’t make it to the Olympics...” and “if ____ was an Olympic sport”. They make it look so easy!

Oh! And there was a tiktok with “all the questions my mom asked about the Olympics” which cracked me up, because, yes I asked all the same questions! Why is Australia gold and green?! 😅

Overall - I guess my favorite is how the clips and photos or funny. amazing, inspiring athletes/moments in time have been used to create a shared experience. Love it.

There have been so many good memes following these events! On a more serious side of coverage, I’ve enjoyed seeing the press resurface around this Simone Biles quote during a 2016 interview she did.

"I'm not the next Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps. I'm the first Simone Biles."

Athlete comparison happens a lot during the Olympics, and I applaud that she highlights her individuality. It’s important to appreciate the hard work and dedication one puts in to qualify for the Olympics. They should be able to celebrate their individual success without naming or comparing others. Simone Biles has made a name for herself on and off the gym floor. Her transparency and vocalization of the importance of mental health are inspirational and continues to remove the stigma and open doors to more conversations about mental health.

I work for a national early literacy nonprofit, so I love seeing all of the children’s book creators sharing content about engaging kids with reading through stories of trailblazing athletes and teamwork. Shelves of Color, We Need Diverse Books, and Here We Read have great posts. So many library accounts are also creating amazing Olympic content!
