My family -especially our kids – and I have Olympic Fever. We can’t stop watching. I’m even dressing the part…inspired by South Korean swimmer Park Tae Hwan who won the gold medal in the 400m freestyle and the silver medal in the 200m freestyle and obviously, Michael Phelps, and his quest for 8 gold medals.
Are you watching?
- Gar is following the swimming competition and David L. gives the inside scoop on Cullen Jones – the other team member in the 4×100 men’s freestyle relay.
- Nancy over at Perfect 10 gives you all the info you can ever want on the Gymnastics competition. It helps that she used to be a gymnast.
If only the global conflicts [such as the current one between Russia & Georgia] can be resolved through friendly competitions…
I’m living on strong coffee and Olympic glory!!!
Funny though, I never saw myself as a rabid Water Polo fan, but that’s exactly what I’m becoming.
Hilarious picture. Nice cap and goggles.
How can I not love that picture? ha, so awesome.
I have the same fever….BUT I am in Alaska. The antenna picks up a horrible tv feed and the internet is too slow to watch online. So now I have a sickness with no remedy.
I’m afraid I might O.D. on Olympics.
Love the CBC coverage! It’s not quite so packaged up as NBC’s coverage so you feel like you are really watching the event. Plus they covered the whole medal ceremony for the men’s gymnastics team competition, including the entire place singing the Chinese national anthem. I loved watching the Chinese, Japanese and American men at the ceremony. Seems like NBC mainly focuses on Americans, while the CBC focuses on who’s interesting, regardless of nationality. Although they do show all the Canadians, but there aren’t too many….
Great picture, Eugene!
Yes, we’ve been glued to the TV. Staying up way too late every night to watch.
[...] I want to be gracious because I got the Olympic spirit but when folks get dumb and dumber and try to defend the picture or the actions, I get a tad [...]
It’s always great to see a white guy in a privileged country who does not have to work and can spend all day swimming and eating 12,000 calories a day while so many starve to death so he can win a game in a country that is partially responsible for the genocide in Darfur. This is a great country indeed…
