Missing an individual medal by a heartbreaking margin in Tokyo, a series of disappointing swims in 2023… followed up with brilliance in Paris. How Torri Huske bounced back to become the most prolific American swimmer of the Games. https://t.co/YoGTuKNL7o

This is an interactive timeline from the official 9/11 Memorial. I have my students explore this every year. It's so important to understand and remember what happened 23 years ago and to remember the lives lost. https://t.co/Egmp1hsSJE

I've watched this video a dozen times, every year on September 11. And every year, tears. What an incredible story of heroism. https://t.co/Zr0xvoq9sx

This. A million times over, this.

Column: With 30 million people a day watching the Olympics, can universities turn that wave into a boost for their Olympic sports? At a time when they're under siege from a funding perspective, let the marketing begin. "That college system matters." https://t.co/VCu2eGrGON

Column: Leon Marchand and Summer McIntosh proved in Paris their status as best swimmers in the world. And since the Olympics are the be-all, end-all of swimming, they will retain that perch for a while to come. https://t.co/cbbROxi7DI

The top swimming surprise in Paris was Paige Madden taking bronze in the 800 free, finishing not too far behind Katie Ledecky and Ariarne Titmus as she annihilated her previous best time. https://t.co/dWUvsOcAHv

On Summer McIntosh, who came through under immense pressure to win three gold medals and further her status as a Canadian legend. https://t.co/mM1RDcSs2v

The top race of the Paris Olympics was the mixed medley relay, where the U.S. and China were neck-and-neck the entire way. Eight swimmers delivered signature performances, and the four Americans needed every bit of speed to secure gold. https://t.co/krmePABqtl

Column: Katie Ledecky, Torri Huske, Kate Douglass, Regan Smith and Gretchen Walsh, all excellent for the surging U.S. women in Paris. The American men, though? A totally different story with only nine medals total and just one individual gold. https://t.co/FNOBinoOHY

Column: Paris was magnificent, and the French fans came through, for Leon Marchand and the swimmers, in judo, fencing and every other sport. The athletes performed brilliantly. In four years, pressure is on the United States to produce a similar showcase. https://t.co/AbTfC7QxVL

First day of the new school year complete! Left home at 5:30 a.m., returned at 9 p.m., met 80 new 6th graders! Back tomorrow for another round and, thanks to our A/B schedule, an entirely new group of ~80 kids.

The U.S. women had not won a relay entering the final event of the Olympics. Regan Smith, Lilly King, Gretchen Walsh and Torri Huske changed that in dramatic fashion — and in world-record time. https://t.co/lkishvfvkI

Bobby Finke realized that his final-length comebacks were no longer a gold-medal-winning strategy. So he went wire-to-wire in the 1500 freestyle final, breaking a world record for the top men’s performance of the Games. https://t.co/c8ahPFEKNA

RT @HenryBushnell: The story of this USWNT turnaround, from World Cup flop to Olympic gold, is a story about joy. "Joy and belief," Trinit…

After 12 days together in Paris, it’s nice to see Matt directing his gold-medal snark at not me.

Phang is the drum striker. The stands are empty. MLS gets every empty seat it deserves for this charade of a nonsense tournament https://t.co/fZMnhzfl8K
