Speedo is wearing your polo cap, dribbling around the pool with the 15 floating waterpolo balls, and barking .. "Ru-ress-ray, Ru-ress-ray" - oh, wait, no, that's me.
Carry on, Jess and team. You are "在火"! We'll be "fanning the flames" from here.
p.s. translation of 在火 = 'on fire' - or could be 'blown up, exploded, or hot for all I know!'
Way to go Jessica,we watched the game on the little tv we have at La Femme,it was super. I just saw the replay online couldn't get more exciting. We will try to call your parents tomorrow,(for us Wednesday Aug 20th)lol.
Best to you all

Hi Jess, You have been AMAZING!
The Ralphs have been watching every minute of every game and screaming for each win! We are so proud! Your fan base is growing exponentially...friends are so excited to know someone who knows someone to cheer for.
I'm a little stressed with all the nailbiter games...but so happy and proud of your wins.
Sending all of our strongest vibes for a gold medal win. You know everyone is cheering on this end and can't wait to celebrate with you when you return. GO USA!
Jess,
I feel the need to comment again and tell you that I haven't found a way to watch your game yet, but I will definitely be sitting at my computer refreshing the page every 30 seconds and cheering for you and your team. I am so incredibly proud of you and your already fabulous accomplishments! You're a stud, Corrie
Hi Jessica,

Jess, We're soooooooo excited for you and the team! Grampa is recording EVERYTHING, and tomorrow some of us will be watching at Nancy's....others will stay up and watch online. Now you can all be on the podium and show your OLYMPIC medal!!!!!!!We'll all be cheering USA.../USA.. Keep playing your fantastic way. Love, Gramma
Oh what the heck.... if commenting twice is the cool thing to do then GAME ON.... Good luck in the finals jess!!!!!! GO FOR GOLD!!!
Once again, Jess, you stepped up in this final game; what heart you displayed..you and your teammates kept your heads. We're so proud of you and can't wait to celebrate at home. Enjoy the moments.
Jess....
I waited all morning for them to put on the game....and they put on the last 26 seconds....but yours was the only name they called "Alli sale Jessica Steffens, numero ocho"....they showed you getting out of the water:/ Rodrigo and I were screaming with pride....woke up all the neighbors! Although I didn't see hardly anything, because these darn Argentines think water polo has something to do with horses swimming...I am so so proud of you. Olympic Silver is absolutely amazing. You're my hero, babe!
Besos,
Corrie
Congratulations Jessica on your Olympic Sylver Medal and on how great you played in that game. It was awesome to see you score the first two goals of the game for USA.
I know Vivian talked to your dad,I tried calling him but could not get thru. Say I hi to all of them when you see them from us here in PR
Enjoy ,
Best
Eggy and family
Jess...what a game!!!You sparked the energy for a fantastic performance. I was the last holdout....watched the game on TV not knowing the outcome....so right up till the end, it was breath-taking.....Scott and Nancy were with us, and we're sending our love and congratulations. Go USA...we're proud of all of you!!!
Wow, what a game you had today Jess! We were bursting with pride when you scored the first two goals for Team USA!! Grammy had the bowling alley in Lincoln, Nebraska watching and they were all cheering for #8!! We can't wait to see your beautiful silver medal--what an incredible accomplishment! Enjoy the closing ceremonies and safe travels home, The Gross Fam.
Yeh Jess!!
