Every four (or five) years the greatest summer sport athletes gather in the hunt for the roar of the crowd (or coaches and TV crew), and to be the one (or one of two) to attain “gold” in the sport they've dedicated they're lives (or the last couple months) to.

OK, so it’s been a weird couple of years.

This week Kelly literally “phones it in” to conference with the boys (John Van Rens & Joe Peters) about the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (that took place between July 23, and August 8, 2021).
