As a seasoned gamer of sports and life, I must say, the 2024 Olympics in Paris were a rollercoaster of emotions, much like the thrilling games I used to play on my vintage Atari console back in the day. The highs were higher than my top score on Space Invaders, and the lows were lower than when I accidentally saved over my game of Pong.
2024 Paris Olympics have passed, featuring triumphs such as the United States men’s gymnastics team’s rally, alongside disappointments like gymnast Jordan Chiles losing her medal due to a technicality. As is customary, water sports drew much attention from viewers, and an athlete demonstrated an unforeseen challenge of being an Olympic contender: adjusting to rigid swimming costumes.
Abby Andrews was part of Australia’s women’s water polo squad that achieved the silver medal at the 2024 Olympics. She posted a video on Instagram showing her struggles to put on her Olympic uniform, which surprisingly requires help from another person. Here’s a peek:

Is it reasonable to consider the effort required to break in a suit as a form of warm-up before a competition? Certainly, whatever preparation methods the Australian team employed to feel at ease in the water proved beneficial when they clinched the silver medal. Elle Armit, one of Abby Andrews’ teammates, shared a comment on the video detailing an effective technique for getting used to a suit:
The baby Bjorn method is tried and true! 🤘🏽
Honestly, it’s always fun when an Olympian goes viral for a wholesome reason like the goofy attempts to break in their gear, as just one example. Stephen Nedoroscik became a national hit for carrying the U.S. men’s gymnastics team to their bronze on the pommel horse before winning an individual bronze and a whole bunch of Clark Kent comparisons. A Team USA runner admitted to getting starstruck upon meeting LeBron James, and it’s still sweet to watch two Olympians freak out over encountering Law & Order: SVU‘s Mariska Hargitay.
At the 2024 Games, the Australian water polo team was not acting playfully or casually when competing for a medal. If you missed the broadcast requiring a Peacock Premium subscription, be sure to watch the exciting moment they sealed their win and advanced to the final against Spain.
Unfortunately, the Olympics streaming was exclusively on Peacock for a limited period, making it difficult to rewatch Australia’s water polo team’s journey as they likely became more accustomed to their gear. However, since Peacock is where Paralympics coverage takes place, it might still be worth subscribing if you’re keen on watching top-tier athletes from around the world.
