How many of you are watching as much of the 2012 Olympics as you can cram into a 24 hour day???
It all started last Friday night with the opening ceremonies. I thought it was beautiful. And.......I also thought it was a production so huge that the thought of having anything to do with it makes me shake!
I was sickly over the weekend and found myself watching sports that I wouldn't ever otherwise watch like rowing. I'm not sure they even call it that. But it is amazing to see anyone, much less 4 or 6 people, rowing so perfectly to keep that narrow little boat(is it a boat?) upright. Just ask my friend Sage about my lone canoeing experience. I don't believe rowing with others in a skinny little boat is in my future!
And I get all wrapped up in events like synchronized diving. Why would anyone jump off a platform so high in the air into a pool of water and try to keep in time with another person doing tricks while falling? These things puzzle me.
They haven't even started any of the track and field events yet. Can't wait for those!
All I know is that I am amazed at what the human body can do. I am amazed at the enormous talent that is displayed in each sport. I am amazed that none of the female gymnasts on the gold winning USA team remember an Olympics before 2004!
I think I'll go have a donut and watch some more beach volleyball now!!!
I'm with you Alicia! I love watching the Olympics...swimming, gymnastics, diving, sculling, beach volleyball, etc. I didn't know there was a trampoline event!! The Olympics are the only thing worth watching on TV!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I love how we sit and watch the Olympics and eat food. :P It seems like we should at least be on a tread mill or something.
ReplyDeleteIt's totally addicting. Seriously. And I'm with you on the food thing.
ReplyDeleteAnd...I think you should come up here and go out in the kayak with me. It will be great! ;)
