  "abstract": "We give an elementary proof of the Komlós conjecture by simplifying the recent proof of Guo, Fang, and Lu. We show that any vectors $v_1,\\ldots,v_n\\in\\mathbb{R}^d$ with $\\|v_i\\|_2\\le1$ admit signs $\\varepsilon_i\\in\\{-1,1\\}$ such that $\\|\\sum_{i=1}^n\\varepsilon_i v_i\\|_\\infty\\le36$. The proof uses only elementary combinatorial and probabilistic arguments and basic calculus.",
