This moment literally gave me goosebumps….
Canada’s @taylor_ruck wins gold in the 200m free.
Ruck dominated from start to finish, holding off Katie Ledecky to swim 1:54.44 which is the fastest ever at a Pan Pacs and a new Commonwealth record. #PanPacs2018 pic.twitter.com/XYfHOcd1yE

So Japan TV is awesome. We got to watch a big portion of the 2 Free for a second time. They always have a behind the scenes camera running so you can check out the warm Down pool or what not. And they freaking obsess over the stars.

Note to self: with or without legs, you can still stand tall.

There was a time I would have never posted a picture showing my prosthetic legs, but to heck with that! These girls have gotten me all around the world and I’m proud of them#parapanpacs2018 pic.twitter.com/G5nMVXdGF7

10 years ago today: The Men’s 4x100m Freestyle Relay Final at the Beijing Olympics. Phelps gets his 2nd of 8 golds. Most exciting race I’ve ever seen.
