“I didn’t quite know what to expect going into @Paris2024, but our three days truly went above and beyond what I could ever have imagined,” Brady wrote.

“We saw athletes from many sports and many countries, but it was especially meaningful to be able to come to this incredible city with my daughter and watch the most powerful women I’ve ever seen, fight for gold, silver, and bronze.

“For the first time in Olympic history, there was a 50:50 split of female and male athletes, a stat I was proud to tell Vivi as she watched these heroes compete.

“Sports are truly unique all over the world with how they bring so many people together, and bring out the best in all of us, both competitors and fans.

“I certainly seemed to be living and dying with each of the performances, with a great appreciation for the hard work, commitment, and dedication It takes to compete at this level.

“I’ve said it a few times lately, but we should all aspire to do HARD things.

“Whether it’s in sports or in life, push yourself beyond your comfort zone to see what you can really accomplish.

“Just like these athletes all across the world have done!

“Congratulations to the champions, the competitors, and the entire city of Paris on a once-in-a-lifetime event With countless memories and enduring relationships.”

Alongside the text are nine pictures and one reel showcasing Brady and his daughter ‘s time at the Summer Games.

He began the slew of pictures with a photo of him hugging Vivian with the iconic Eiffel Tower behind them.

In the reel, Brady and Vivian attend a women’s diving event as the 47-year-old reacts and says “Oh my god, oh my god,” as his daughter responds “so good.”

The post also showcases photos of the pair attending beach volleyball, tennis, and the individual women’s gymnastics finals.

Brady and Vivian cheered on Simone Biles at the individual women’s gymnastics finals on Monday.

The Olympics trip comes as Brady prepares to make the transition from retired NFL quarterback to Fox broadcaster.

Brady signed a 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox to broadcast games for them.

The former quarterback recently spoke about how he will be approaching his new position.

“Certainly, with the broadcaster, I don’t think, for me, it’s about competition,” Brady said.

“I think it’s for me, it’s about did I put everything I could into it? Did I give the fans everything that they tuned in for?

“And that’s really how I’ll end up gauging myself.”
