I’m rarely inspired by sports, but damn. Object lesson in getting back up after being knocked down. After huge expectations, media frenzy, very public setback… I suspect this bronze is more meaningful than her previous golds. The movie will be about this.

When I get knocked down, my idea of getting back up is reluctantly allowing myself to be persuaded to go get icecream.

Feel I’ve also been incidentally exposed to more sportswriting lately, & it makes me wonder to what extent such narratives were the reason sports appealed to people all along. Ex. a ref. point for their own struggles. If so it’s weird that IRL events take on a role of literature.
