Olympic Spirit

Filed Under Sports, TV | 3 Comments

I have to admit, I am finally getting caught up in the Olympics. I was busy the night of the opening ceremony and missed most of it, and for a while I just wasn’t all that into it. I caught a little of the qualifying swimming stuff, and a little early gymnastics… but this weekend I have been glued to the tv (well and also stuck with my inlaws here) but I have watched swimming, diving, vault, floor gymnastics, rowing, track, and on and on. I love it. I love the Patriotic feel it gives me, I love seeing all the countries there together. However there are certain countries that I think should not be there- I know the Olympics is not political, but I think terrorism and communism and human rights go beyond just politics… but that is not for me to decide and overall I have enjoyed watching.

I have cheered for people who won, felt so so sorry for the American diver girls who screwed up really bad, been frustrated when other countries beat us. There are too many commercials and interviews but in between all that, it’s so worth it.

    I have barely missed a minute of the Olympics. I love them soooooo much. My fav is definitely track and field, but this time around, I have fallen in love with volleyball, gymnastics and swimming. (Go Phelps!!!)

    I like it too! I love the gymnastics, swimming and diving. It’s something cool to watch because come on, it’s only every 4 years!!!

    First time I’ve ever really watched the games and I’m loving it. The gymnastics tonight made me cry… especially when I saw Shawn J.’s parents bawling. Is Bailey watching any of the games with you? :)
