2024 Summer Olympics

I've never seen a runner put their hand up while in the blocks before. That was wild.

Water polo is as dorky in the Olympics as it was in your buddy's back yard pool when you were growing up.

Same with Sydney McLaughlin. Tremendous human.

Don't know a thing about her other than she might be super human.

If bed diving was an Olympic sport, I'd be in the mix.

But I won't kid myself. A Chinese bed diver would kick my ass into 2026.

That was SPECTACULAR. T&F is always good, but that was an incredible race. US almost went 1-2 and the Norwegian (I'm not a fan) gets no medal!

Holy crap, what a finish by Cole! Amazing race.

I knew a guy named Swede but he was actually Norwegian

If The Swede gives you any trouble, Gunny will handle it.

Actually I went to an LSU web sight where many were giving him a difficult time.

I'm pretty sure we'd all date a Swedish Model if we could, regardless of what country we're representing.

Maybe you know Swedish models or your wife may be one, but I know no Swedish women or models. He must have a lot of access and influence.

I think you lack the research insight. There was a lot more than how long he lived in Switzerland, and his girlfriend. He and his family just arent very patriotic. His brother competed for Switzerland. His grand patents are Swiss. His father could have coached him.

Swedenland!

I did a little research on this and while your answer isn't wrong, it lacks the complexities of the situation.

1. First he's just as much Swedish as American. He's a dual citizen. He was born in America and went to LSU, but he lived in Sweden for a good portion (maybe equal) of his life, and his mother's family still lives there. His grand parents speak Swedish and not English.
2. He has competed for Sweden for much of his life. His brother competed for Sweden (it didn't say this but it appears that his brother wasn't good enough to compete for America).
3. His girl friend is from Sweden.
4. While his father could have coached him for the U.S. Olympic team, his father wasn't offered the job here and in Sweden, he was (a former youth track coach put in the work to recruit his father, brother, and Mondo too.
5. It appears that he considered competing for America, but was recruited very hard by a former youth coach in Sweden. The same coach who recruited his father to coach for the Sweden National Team.
6. My guess is that Mondo (and his father) isn't really patriotic for America anymore than Sweden. The chances are that he will live his life in Sweden as much as in America.

I'm not sure you understand the insight DTSB has on the situation.

He has not lived in Sweden anywhere near an equal amount of time.

It was absolutely a highlight of T&F.
