I guess I'm just more impressed by triathlon competitors. Congrats to Flora Duffy for winning Bermuda's first gold medal ever! It seems like many countries are winning their first medals this time around, which is awesome.
It's the time to train as well, the training time for all of these is a lot
and in a way a short time to get a medal puts more pressure and requirement of perfection on each second
