Ah...Ranomi...the pride of my country and she even lives less than 1 km away from me..
She's such a powerwoman that makes it even more special when she cries. Here the tv host tried to squeeze out some tears by showing her crying to herself.

Unfortunately this didn't work on live tv, but we still have the original footage of course.

They've just had the first medal ceremony and they have to wear masks!

Which is a gigantic pain. Yes we still might see people cry but we want tears on the cheeks dammit!

It's a bigger pain for me as you can imagine. Although the most intense crying happens right after victory/loss.

@Tifoso di lacrime: Wow, never saw that on video! Really pissed they zoomed right into her eyes though. Typical.

@Phoebeonthephone: Intrusive or not, I like a good close up myself...

What's bugging me about the olympics is that it's on the other side of the world, so most of the live stuff is happening at night :,(
