Gymnastics is one of the most popular sports at the Olympics, and the Games is the biggest stage in the sport. In Paris, competition begins with qualifying on Sunday, July 28. At this Games, we’ll see some of the most difficult gymnastics ever done, with none other than Simone Biles leading the charge. She has demonstrated pure dominance since winning her first world title in 2013. Some athletes will chase Biles in pursuit of Olympic glory, some are in steadfast pursuit of the top of the podium, and others will see their Olympic dreams realized when they salute the judges in Bercy Arena and officially become Olympians.

I know or have known women with all four names, but they are either baby boomers or boomer parents' ages and someone's grandma or great aunt. Consider the ages of females in Virginia you know with these names.

Simone Biles makes it look SO easy, when we know that it’s not.
As gymnastics practice at the Paris Olympics began this week, Biles was out there practicing what is known as The Biles II in the vault — a Yurchenko double pike that has become one of her signature moves after she was out there doing it ahead of the Tokyo Olympics.
You can watch her hit it in practice below, and just see how good she is in slow motion. Every piece of it is flawless, from takeoff to the flips to the landing. Her smile tells you all you need to know:

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
