Just kidding. Watching curling is like watching paint dry. I don’t watch the Olympics. But since they are being held in Paris this year, I just might start. I recall in years past I watched the Winter Olympics’ skiing and ice-skating competitions, but that was a long time ago, and I was a kid.
Anyone who’s been reading my blog since the beginning knows what I’m going to say I will most likely watch present day: tennis. The Summer Olympics are being held in Paris this year from July 27-August 4, Rafa Nadal is probably playing his last season of professional tennis, and Roland Garros (The French Open) is his jam (he’s not called the King of Clay for nothing), so I am deducing he’s going to aim for the double play: Roland Garros and the Olympics – which will be played on the red clay, the same courts as Roland Garros. There are current rules in place, however, that may be a bit of a hurdle for him to be able to do this. Without getting too complicated, he will have to appeal to the ITF (International Tennis Federation) to be able to be allowed to play in the Olympics. Fingers crossed.
I suppose you know where I’ll be for Summer Olympics Paris 2024. I will not be in Paris. But I will be watching from my couch at home, wearing a beret, eating croissant and sipping un Café.

Not really much thought to it. it’s not unusual. I found out that a lot of people have named their cats after Rafa. 😆 Unfortunately, my cat died in 2021. He is missed

Amy, I beg to differ. Watching curling is NOT like watching paint dry. I have seen instances of paint drying that were far mor riveting than any curling match I’ve ever sat through…

We definitely know is Tennis, specifically Rafael Nadal Parera, the MAN. 🎾 🇪🇸 I’ll be watching track (don’t like the field part) and the marathon all 2+ hours for both Men and Women. I had the opportunity to go to the London Olympics and watched the men’s marathon and it was awesome.

Nice! I do like watching track. I’m amazed by the sprinters and how fast people are. Hopefully Rafa can play. He withdrew from Monte Carlo today. 😕

I know. I think retirement is knocking at his door. Hopefully, he gets in condition and can play at least in doubles.

Something. I think he’s just trying to hold on to at least one round at the French. The whole thing makes me sad – I can’t even imagine how it feels for him.

He’s a fighter and I think you are right. He’ll go for one more.
