Paris 2024 Olympics: Day 5

It was a scorcher of a day both weather-wise and on the playing field….and some TKFLASTANIs got burned. Both Jill and Alison had issues with the extremely hot weather here–Jill wandered around the Urban Park concept at Place de la Concorde trying to find the media center, and Alison burned her backside at Beach Volleyball. Other than that, it was a great day of competition, with France's hero of the Games, swimmer Leon Marchand bringing home more hardware.
