She is a queen. Watching her step into the anchor position and then watching her support Simone so much especially when she got bronze on beam was so touching. I can't wait for her in Paris.

So many young people scaring their bodies with those STUPID tattoo sharpie doodles. Oh Jennifer, why bring up the color Why must that always be an issue?? Morgan Freeman said it best when he said STOP TALKING ABOUT IT. WHY CANT SHE JUST BE A GOOD ATHLETE??? HER COLOR MATTERS NOT TO ANYONE. SO SICK OF THE RACE CARD AND HER RESPONSE TO IT....UGH.
