The Paris 2024 Olympics is officially underway today and you know I'm excited! The opportunity to see the world's best athletes compete on the global stage is nothing short of awe-inspiring to me. I remember competing in the 400m and 1500m freestyle events at the Athens and Beijing Olympics, winning a silver medal in the 1500m in Athens (2004) and a bronze in the 400m in Beijing (2008). Those tense, exciting moments have stayed with me and shaped me into who I am today. The Olympics represent the pinnacle of athletic achievement, but they also embody a spirit of unity and perseverance. Seeing athletes from all corners of the globe come together to push their limits and showcase their talents is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve through hard work and dedication. I'm looking forward to the swimming events, but you already knew that. The Seine has seen centuries of history flow through it, and now it will witness world-class athletes making history of their own. It’s a fitting venue for the remarkable feats of endurance, speed, and skill that we are about to witness. As Paris 2024 kicks off, I'm celebrating the spirit of competition, the joy of sport, and the incredible achievements of these athletes. Go TEAM USA!! 🇺🇸 Let's GOOO!!!!! 💪
