    The men's gymnastics has taken a hit because NCAA chose to put their funding in other mens sports. This quad felt different. So much more support. Everything has just been beautiful about this Olympic quad. I've been watching since I was a kid in the 70s and I've never seen this much love and comradery before. I love it. Let's support these athletes with positivity. They don't get paychecks for this. What they earn comes from their own self-promotion.

    For Simone, possibly 3 more gold medals and possibly another non-gold medal.
