We've been watching the 2 greatest US women's athletes in the history of their sport and in all of US women's athletics this week!!
Deb and I have been watching but mainly because she loves the gymnastics!
Our daughter and grandaughteri did gymnastics and Deb has been following it for decades.
I watched the entire 1500 meters of Kati Ledecky's win in swimming and it was mind boggling. She beat 2nd place by something like 13 seconds. WOW!
She has been the most dominant female athlete for any sport in history, competing the last decade.
Even more dominant that Simone Biles, believe it or not!
