@MrAllardSS yes grit there is tedtalk about grit that is awesome. #sstlap
Braz74 - Moderator Aug 11 @ 9:07 PM EDT
Yes USA only coverage is not what Olympics are about - show best performance regardless of nation. #sstlap https://t.co/nvB10VUY4I

  A2 Been watching a lot of swimming which has been great. Wish @nbc spent more time of 1st refugee to medal and issues in Brazil #sstlap

@lorenabaker27 what did they/you do sounds very cool. #sstlap
Braz74 - Moderator Aug 11 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@lorenabaker27 yes it should mean we are all people all humans stop defining people as different we can get along & better together #sstlap

I'm going to answer these out of order, sorry. A3 I think studying the refugee olympians would be great for Ss. Inspiring stories #sstlap
Braz74 - Moderator Aug 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT
Nice-would you include the controversy of cost &other issues that are connected with Olympics or keep simple #sstlap https://t.co/9K1a6KgXZT

  A3 Doing an Olympics project. Pick a few world cities, 2 groups each city:1 group argues for Oly bid, other agst, using evidence. #sstlap

A2 My favorite moments have been in swimming w #phelpsface & especially @_king_lil but I'm a track guy so it really starts tomorrow #sstlap
Braz74 - Moderator Aug 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT
Yes and environmental issues we see in Rio or what has happened to Olympic cities years later? China Russia #sstlap https://t.co/hkGo0Ulvvj

  A3) The refugee team would be a great discussion spark w/ Ss, I would think. Finding countries & comparing pop, GDP, etc. #sstlap
Braz74 - Moderator Aug 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT
Yes would be nice to have seen some coverage of the lesser known sports. #sstlap https://t.co/IfEXPSUruV

  A2) Haven't been able to watch as much as I've wanted (darn travel & work). I love everything, esp less seen sports. #sstlap
CHitch94 Aug 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@Braz74 Or Sarajevo after the 1984 Winter Games. #sstlap

A1 The olympics unites the world. Competition & sport bring out the best in people. Even those without country have a place. #sstlap
Braz74 - Moderator Aug 11 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@johnmayo @MrAllardSS this has been my issue for years NBC and US media about ratings - show great performances #sstlap
dbschoemer Aug 11 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@Braz74 HS Sophs we want them digging into controversy along w potential benefits. Hope to use this to gain knowledge of cultures #sstlap
Braz74 - Moderator Aug 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@dbschoemer yes - so many ways to take your strategy- HS should dig into multiple perspectives #sstlap
Braz74 - Moderator Aug 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT
Yes love the new refugee status! No more athletes paying the price for political games. They work too hard #sstlap https://t.co/G3VEIGrB7q

A1. Caring for sports that you only watch every 4 years. Then get so tired of watch you are ready to wait 4 yrs to watch again #sstlap
lorenabaker27 Aug 11 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@Braz74 Chariot races Ss pulled other Ss on scooter using hula hoops, long jump, discuss, javelin, running races & drama #sstlap
