This is our last Paralympics-focused episode before the Paris 2024 Summer Games start! We're excited to bring you our remaining interviews from athletes we met at the Team USA Media Summit (with links to their Instagram accounts):

• Para triathlete Grace Norman
• Para shooter Marco DeLa Rosa
• Para cyclist Dennis Connors
• Goalball player Calahan Young
• Para powerlifter Bobby Body
• Runner Jaydin Blackwell
• Sitting volleyball player Kaleho Kanhelo Maclay

In Paris 2024 news, we talk about the swimmability of the Seine--someone's one-upped Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo by hopping in the water first!

We also have some hospitality house news--keep up to date with House Party!

If you're in Canada, the Canadian Olympic Committee is hosting three Team Canada FanFests across the country. Learn more about them here, and if you go to one, let us know what it was like!

In news from Team Keep the Flame Alive, we have a bunch of event results and Paris 2024 team announcements. Plus, some TKFLASTANIs were at the nation's 4th of July party.

We'll be heading to Paris later this week and look forward to sharing the Games experience with you! There's still time to get your Paris viewing guide, Olympic and Paralympic travel journals, and merch!
