I ♥ the Olympics.

There are all these atheletes and swimmers and gymnasts, a lot of them practically children, and you know they've practised all their lives for this (while dreaming of Emil Zatopek and Nadia Comaneci) - to be in the Olympics. Most of them won't win medals, but it doesn't matter, because they're at the Olympics, and that's awesome.

OLYMPICS!!!!

I've looked forward to it all year!

I swear some of the Chinese gymnasts (female) ARE children. My commentator said something about having to be 16? And I know that serious gymnasts often have some supressed hormone issues - but a couple of the Chinese looked to be about 12.

I love the Olympics. I leave it on all evening and just listen.

The olympics make me so happy! Everything's just so EPIC and wonderful. It's my new default channel for a while. :)

There's an athlete competing in the women's marathon who lives in my little neighborhood (her husband owns the local athletic apparel shop where we buy our shoes, and when she's not in training or coaching the local university students, she sometimes tends the cash register, LOL), so I'm very excited for her!
