i love watching the Olympics. usually watching sports seems pretty tedious to me but something about the US going against the rest of the world gets me riled up!
Today while watching gymnastics the commentators made some comments that reminded me that it is the comments that make me not usually like watching sports in the first place.
" she's so expressive"- what? she's expressive.. i know i don't know much about the uneven bars but i can handle them saying "good extension" or "she has good lines" but expressive? she's not exactly dancing or writing a poem. it just made me laugh I'm not exactly sure why.
i love the Olympics because its one of the few times i feel very patriotic. i love America all the time but i actually feel that i love it when i have national pride when we win, or we compete in the games. for a lot of reasons I'm enjoying the summer games immensely.
i don't even like watching the cycling because its usually pretty boring but the men's race was on the other morning and it was amazing. they got to ride past the most amazing things ever! First they past the new birds nest stadium which is breathtaking, then Tienanmen square, then the forbidden city and then finally seven laps around and near the great wall of china. could they ask for anything more scenic? i have never been interested in visiting china in my life, but that made me tempted just a little.
