Olympic Watching?

[Deleted]

I love hearing about the stories of many of the Olympic athletes, incl Michael Phelps! Isnt he amazing? Anyway, I love to root for good ol' USA and especially ones who are from my area where I live! I grew up in a competitive swimming family. So I kind of like the swimming! Some team mates from my swim clubs that i used to swim for have gone on to the Olympics and even medaled! There are also some archery, ski shooters, and horsemen from my area. How about your area? What sport(s) do you like to watch in the Okympics the best? Gymnastics is on now!

The rowing is interesting to watch, too! Sure wouldnt want to capsize in that water! Who know what poisonous snakes or piranas or gators lurk in those waters! Or how safe it really is to go in.

Seems we have forgotten where the 'off' switch is these last few days.  Hey, it only happens e very 4 years so we may as well take advantage of the variety of sports being televised.  But, I am cheering on the Candians.  :)

I don't know why, but I haven't watch much of it. Did watch the horse jumping the other day and enjoyed that. I don't know why I haven't watch much, not that busy. I have always enjoy watching them. In the winter I like the ice skating.

I watched Michael Phelps set his record last night, Marg, and thought of you and your ties to swimming.  It was exciting to watch!  I have watched a few events, but not nearly as much as I have in the past.  This new board has gotten most of my attention since we went online with it.

I generally prefer the Winter Olympics, but do enjoy the gymnastics and swimming...mainly synchronized diving. Just amazing. It's good to get away from political news for awhile.

Will check the schedule to see what is going on today.

Margba, you must have been very good to compete! I am not a good swimmer. I doubt I could save myself if I had to.
