She's a real treasure over there, on par with our own Louis Armstrong as a comparison in American culture.

Satchmo also celebrated her catalog.

Always loved how his voice and trumpet shared the exact same vibrato ... at least later in life.

I was interested in the part about her being big in France, because she is French Canadian.  I suppose mainly because of the language, but I have to figure she has other ties.

I also thought it was really cool that France involved great Olympians from other countries during their ceremony.  I don't recall anyone else ever really doing that.  It was a classy move, but it did kill my Nadal, Serena, Carl Lewis, and Nadia are all on a boat joke.  

Yeah, Celine is Quebecoise, so she's fluent in the French language and culture. Her speaking accent/dialect is quite different from Parisian, though. Much like the English, you don't detect her accent too easily when she sings. There's something weird about singing that tends to dampen accents unless they're stressed for effect.

Anyway, I've never been a fan of hers (at all) because of the style of music, but she belted that one out beautifully.

One thing she's especially famous for is how she pronounces her "Rs" when singing. You hear it really well in "Non, je ne regrette rien," another song we've all heard but maybe don't know who sings it.

It’s 330 am and I woke up to take a leak. I’m watching women’s judo. As I often do I wonder how different lady athletes would be in bed. I’m thinking these judo women’s would be fun in the sack

Well, I don't think talking back to the Judo lady's would be in your best interests.  

Watching the women's cycling time trial. The American fell 3 times in the rain and then had to swap bikes with a mechanical issue. Yipes.

Damn, riding those bikes in the rain seems like it suckkkkkkkks

Our girls, the Xu sisters, are putting up a fight in badminton, but the Chinese are freaking awesome.  

Just lost to Ireland in the final seconds in Rugby, but it was playing for fifth place.

Just ended, it was on USA 4k.  Now it's getting US women's water polo vs. Greece.  

So much yelling in the Sabre (fencing?) men’s competition…some dude was furious at the official lol

Brutal conditions for the bike racing, go as fast as you can, in the pouring rain, on slick asphalt.

Till Lindemann from Rammstein doesn't have this issue.

Set your notifications, surfing dudes go at noon followed by the chicas at 4:45.

Silver Medal! Fuck ya!

accents tend to take effort which singing overpowers. the standard american accent really isn't much of one because it's lazy (kinda apropos)

WTF. Watching Morocco/Ukraine on the Peacock multiview and they cut away right during a Ukraine attack for a Moana 2 trailer.

I like those moves when they get on the mat. They all had nice asses and the commentator talked about their strong grips.

Her bike replaced dude fell on his face too.

Dont know if you saw the clip of Dygart’s wreck in a previous wreck where she went over a guardrail and down a hill. Yikes. Fell in the rain on the cobbles and still got bronze.

Yeah, Peacock kinda sucks at this

So watching the commentators: the pool in Paris is more shallow than the pool 4 years ago. It makes a difference bc the deeper the pool the less turblulance. More turbulence slower times. We won’t see as many WR but when we do that will be pretty fucking amazing.

Congrats Chloe Dygert! Took a nasty spill but claimed the Bronze! Bronze medal! Fuck ya! 
 

way to regroup and get on that podium girl! Girl power! 

The only thing I was thinking on the catwalk part of the program (bc of the rain) was this:IMG_1643.gif.63bf66834652a6f9bbfa81ca7b43eda3.gif

That looks more like the Women’s cycling Time Trial.

The Gold Zone channel on Peacock is pretty sweet, you get to see a bunch of different stuff, and they aren't catering just to the USA stuff, all medal matches.  Judo right now.  

USA has a legit challenger in women's kayak

The Olympics in LA is going to have Riley Reid do something like that, I've heard.  

Ukraine up 1 goal on Morocco, after scoring in stoppage time.  Apparently, the Ukrainians played nearly the entire second half a man down.

Yeah, I’m sure his wife is buying that. 

Women are known for their forgive and forget attitude.  

I just came here to say that field hockey color commentator Suzanne Bush seems awesome. And by awesome I mean rude af.

US women 0-17-1 in last 18 vs Argentina field hockey. Doesn’t sound ideal.

The Argentines are very good at field hockey ... cuz they need something to do when they're giving their mounts a break and not playing polo.

1,1,1,1,1 

 

Do we even have a realistic shot at the podium in men’s gymnastics? I mean individual events sure but as a team medal it looks like best shot is bronze but that seems unlikely. 

The Argentine fh team is another good one to watch
