Read on DW correspondence that someone at a writer's group advised that men don't cry, and a male character crying was unbelievable.

I thought..."Some people need to spend some time watching the Olympics. Because a lot of men are crying during the Olympics." Also I've seen my brother and father cry. Everyone cries. It's kind of necessary. Some people need to be smacked upside the head.

Watching the balance beam.

Laurie Hernandez - the commentator and former Olympic Gold Medalist - when asked what the hardest apparatus were - she said: "It's hard to say? But the two that get the most falls are the balance beam and the Impossible (Uneven) Bars."

Suni Lee fell on the balance beam, making me gasp and feel devastated for her, and after she got off...Simone came up, hugged her after she returned and talked to her about it. Said it was a good routine, but sometimes things go awry. I love Simone so much.

These are not easy apparatus.
