Stephen Nedoroscik is like the patron saint of Fantasy Olympics. One of us! One of us!

Anyway, I hope you are surviving GOLD RUSH WEEKEND. Remember to hydrate. And welcome to Week Two which finds the US being fast on a different surface. Our gym gals are almost done with their flipping but our team sports girlies are stepping into the spotlight. Men will also be competing again this week, I’m told.

Very few surprises so far in either the Olympics or the Fantasy Olympics really. Simone is 3 for 3 on gold. US Basketball is dominant. Siblings President Alice of Barrettania and Governor Brian of Barretteboro are doing their traditional “pretty well” and, as usual, much better than siblings High Sultaness Allie of Mabeltopia and Sanctus Bellator Ross of Dominion Divinum Petrochemicum de Groganzola.

Supreme Leader Jen of Land of Make Believe is having one of her better years and will hopefully be able to answer the many questions I have about the Land of Make Believe such as why do only some citizens have to wear pants? and what is the basis of their economy and is it really crayons and artisan clocks?

Frequent Fantasy Olympians Chef d’Equipe Kerry of Raffles Apollo, Queen Robin of Randomland, Chancellor Megan of Pollywoglandia, and Queen JoAnna of Josburg are hovering around the middle of the table together while frequent former Fantasy Olympics champion, Desperado Ken of the Land of Tony’s Flags is just having a dismal games so far. 25th place and pinning all his hopes and dreams on Sport Climbing.

A lot of great Olympics were Olympicked today, which I won’t tell you about in case you’re one of those primetime watchers, but many more points up for grabs. Still anyone’s game to win! Except for probably mine, unless Noah Lyles gets 18 gold medals.
