schooling gets us gold

I'm glad I crawled out from my bed and fought the almost-decision to go back to sleep this morning at 9am. Because Joseph Schooling's gold-medal win at the 100m fly started my day on such a high note!!! I don't know why I'm so happy but I really am and it remained that way the whole day. I just feel so inspired and hopeful and I realise he's quite a fine young lad. A very humble guy indeed.

And hahaha it's so interesting to see all the puns people make with his last name.

I can't keep smiling inside though.

(and i really did go swim laps in the pool in the evening)

And that interaction between Schooling and the other 3 silver medalists was so cute. Particularly Phelps and Schooling :') It's really a very special special race because 1) There are three silver medalists with the exact same time 2) Schooling beat his childhood idol 3) New Olympic record

AH i also feel it's super surreal. 

This is why I love sports so much and I can't imagine someone who doesn't.
