The Rio Olympics are finally upon us and here in the United States that means it’s time to cheer on our American athletes. It also means keeping up with the wealth of coverage and events that happen each day.
No one appears to be more passionate about the Olympics than Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones, who provided some very engaging Twitter commentary on the first day of events that morning.
Jones started off her Olympic coverage with a bang as she cheered on Team USA’s Ginny Thrasher, who went on to claim the country’s first gold medal.

Jones then transitioned her coverage over to men’s cycling where she marveled over the pace that the Olympic cyclists kept over such a long distance while also avoiding obstacles in their path.
