The sun is shining and the days are long. It\u2019s summer<\/a> and there\u2019s so much to look forward to! From hanging out at the beach to road trips, block parties to barbecues \u2013 summertime is loaded<\/em> with plenty of opportunities to get outside and enjoy yourself.<\/p>\n

Plus, this summer packs an extra punch with the launch of Samsung\u2019s latest cutting-edge innovations at Galaxy Unpacked<\/a> and the Olympic Games \u2013 with both events taking place in Paris. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will even play a special role<\/a> in the Olympic Games \u2014 and you won\u2019t want to miss it.<\/p>\n

With the Opening Ceremony coming soon, alongside the newly launched Galaxy Z Fold6<\/a>, Galaxy Z Flip6<\/a>, Galaxy Watch Ultra<\/a>, Galaxy Watch7<\/a>, Galaxy Buds3 series<\/a>, and the highly anticipated Galaxy Ring<\/a>, a lot of people are feeling the excitement! Including our Team Galaxy\u2014 so, we spoke with a few members to hear what they\u2019re most looking forward to.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\n\t\t\"Galaxy\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n

Dustin \u201cThe Diamond\u201d Poirier<\/strong>, a top professional mixed martial arts fighter, shared that he uses his Galaxy ecosystem when he trains or goes on runs, helping him keep track of his progress \u2013 so he can\u2019t wait to use all the new updates. But being a professional fighter isn\u2019t the only thing Dustin does or is known for, he\u2019s a father first. He\u2019s also a philanthropist and a business owner. And with all that on his plate, making time to enjoy the Olympics with his family is super important to him.<\/p>\n

Dustin \u201cThe Diamond\u201d Poirier<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cI have a lot of exciting projects coming up, but I really enjoy spending time with my family. I can\u2019t wait to relax and watch gymnastics with my daughter! She’s really into that right now. I\u2019m looking forward to having that quality time with her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Javon \u201cWanna\u201d Walton<\/strong>, known for his role on hit show Euphoria<\/em>, is also excited to watch Olympics gymnastics and boxing. Wanna, who got his start as one of America’s youngest elite youth boxers at the age of four, went on to become a multi-time junior regional champion and a two-time national silver medalist\u2026 and even now, he\u2019s keeping up that energy.<\/p>\n

Wanna is preparing for his next fight and with long days of training, he\u2019s looking forward to relaxing while tuning in to the games this summer. He was also a gymnast for a long time and explained that his athletic history is why gymnastics and boxing are some of his favorite sports to watch.<\/p>\n

Another of Wanna\u2019s favorite things? His Galaxy Z Flip5<\/a>! \u201cI love the nostalgic feeling of flip phones and I can\u2019t wait to use the newest Galaxy Z Flip6<\/a>!\u201d<\/p>\n

Demi Bagby<\/strong>, an athlete and business entrepreneur who creates content to inspire people to live life fully, noticed some interesting overlap between the Olympics and Unpacked. \u201cIt feels like the gap between the technology available to professional athletes and the average person is closing. Especially when it comes to Samsung Galaxy wearable devices. I\u2019m so<\/em> excited to get acclimated with the new features and innovations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Demi went on to explain that, \u201cWhen I think about health, fitness, and training \u2013 the most important variable is sleep. And with Samsung\u2019s technology, you can learn how to optimize your sleep cycle<\/a> to be your most productive, efficient self. As a consumer, being able to purchase a Galaxy device that can help teach you how to be your best self every day is soooo EPIC! I can\u2019t wait to show off the newest Samsung innovations!\u201d<\/p>\n
