  • I've attended five events at the 2024 Summer Olympics, from qualifiers to medal rounds.
  • I usually watch the Games on TV, so attending the events in person came with lots of surprises.
  • I was shocked by how easy it was to attend the Olympics and how electric the crowds were.

During the Olympics, I typically find myself cheering on the athletes from the comfort of my couch. I had always assumed seeing the Games in person was too expensive and logistically challenging.

However, I was lucky enough to get tickets to five different events for the Summer 2024 Olympic Games: soccer, table tennis, swimming, golf, and athletics.
