| 0:04.5 | My name is Jenna, and this is Smarter News. |
| 0:16.8 | Well, they say as one chapter closes, another one opens. We had the closing ceremony of the |
| 0:22.8 | Olympics just yesterday and now it's onwards to the Olympics in L.A. in four years, which is hard |
| 0:29.6 | to even think about. Let's think about 2028. Do you remember when 2024 sounded like crazy? |

| 1:18.6 | You know, it was the first time my five-year-old ever saw someone perform and compete in such a way. |
| 1:24.5 | And it was really amazing to see it through the eyes of children because you see |
| 1:28.3 | it through such a different lens. And I'm a little sad. I'm a little sad that it's over because it was a |
| 1:34.1 | nice distraction. It was a great time to bring the family together. We watched the Olympics almost every |
| 1:40.5 | single night. It was also a moment for the country to focus on something else |
