It’s Day 4 of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, and the heat is on–literally! Broiling temps outside meant it was an indoors day for us–but did we still sweat through our clothes? Of course!

Jill was at badminton for group play, then squeezed into the top of the press tribune for the women’s team artistic gymnastics final, where she had to perform some of her own gymnastics just to watch the competition. Meanwhile, Alison went to table tennis and volleyball, where she had a TBach sighting.
