just an observation about the Olympic athletes

some of the men are wearing necklaces

some of the women are wearing false eyelashes

it surprises me that they wear these. I wouldn't want anything distracting me if I were in the Olympics.

(yes, its trivial)

I watch a lot of tennis & I wonder what's the purpose of wearing an expensive watch during a match.

And the oversized necklaces a lot of baseball players are wearing now don't seem necessary either.
