Can you believe it's going to be TWO locations? San Siro stadium is gonna be electric! 
I love how they're incorporating Leonardo da Vinci's designs into the opening ceremony - it's like, totally unique and cool. And OMG, Mongolia's uniforms are gonna be EPIC! 
They're drawing from the Great Mongol Empire, that's so interesting! 
️ so like, the Olympics are coming and I'm low-key excited, but also kinda worried that the teams are gonna put too much pressure on themselves? 
I mean, have you seen those Mongolian uniforms? they're fire 
! and omg, the cauldrons lit at the same time? that's such a cool touch 
. but what's with all these protests? i get it, but can't we just enjoy the games without drama? 
I mean, two cauldrons lit at once? That's like something straight outta Leonardo da Vinci's playbook 
. And can we talk about Mongolia's uniforms? The Great Mongol Empire vibes are so cool 
. But what really caught my attention was that university and high school students were protesting in front of the Politecnico di Milano... It's all about being aware of the impact we have on the world around us 
. We can't just sit back and enjoy the games without thinking about the people involved. Anyway, can't wait to see how it all comes together! 
... first, the pressure on the teams is so high, and now I'm seeing protests in front of the venues? It's like, can't we just enjoy the sports for once? 
That's definitely something to look forward to. And can we talk about how beautiful Italy is? 
I just wish everyone could find a way to get along and enjoy the games without all the drama 
... two cauldrons? That sounds like a match made in heaven 
! And omg, the Mongol outfit idea is straight up genius 
. I'm low-key hoping we see some stunning designs and high fashion on ice 
. But for real tho, gotta love how inclusive it is, mixed doubles curling, women's hockey, and all that 
... can't wait to see who those final torchbearers are 
!
cant wait to see those beautiful outfits on the athletes! 
anyway gotta stay ahead of the games by signing up for that daily briefing, dont wanna miss any highlights
