This moment literally gave me goosebumps….
Canada’s @taylor_ruck wins gold in the 200m free.
Ruck dominated from start to finish, holding off Katie Ledecky to swim 1:54.44 which is the fastest ever at a Pan Pacs and a new Commonwealth record. #PanPacs2018 pic.twitter.com/XYfHOcd1yE

So Japan TV is awesome. We got to watch a big portion of the 2 Free for a second time. They always have a behind the scenes camera running so you can check out the warm Down pool or what not. And they freaking obsess over the stars. đź‘Ťđź‘Ť

When it’s more enjoyable to watch a broadcast in a language you don’t speak than in the one you do…

It was a privilege to be in the stands and watch my World Record be broken. Massive congratulations to

Note to self: with or without legs, you can still stand tall.

There was a time I would have never posted a picture showing my prosthetic legs, but to heck with that! These girls have gotten me all around the world and I’m proud of them đź–¤ #parapanpacs2018 pic.twitter.com/G5nMVXdGF7— Jessica Long (@JessicaLong) August 12, 2018

10 years ago today: The Men’s 4x100m Freestyle Relay Final at the Beijing Olympics. Phelps gets his 2nd of 8 golds. Most exciting race I’ve ever seen.
“The Americans? We're going to smash them. That's what we came here for.”- France’s Alain Bernard
