So I missed a good chunk of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies in London while I was at work; what was on TV was not audible. I watched the (very) few videos on NBC's website. If there were a written story/director commentary to go along with the stuff I saw I think I would have been really entertained by the whole thing. I lack cable at home but trust me there will be sporting moments I do not miss. I am trying an Olympic live video app for my Ipod with notifications of events I bookmark. Speaking of the events, here are the things I am most looking forward to seeing/watching at this year's Olympics.
Will this man be as wickedly fast as he was the in the last games? He was electric to watch and he was a newcomer to the running/track world. I am interested to see what a few years of coaching and direction will produce.
Gymnasts make gracefulness look so easy! You know what is going through my head if I am Miss Douglas here? Not whatever is making her look so cool and collected (like catching that bar on the way back down at a rapid speed was just like yawning or blinking).
There are more women on the US Olympic team this year than men. This girl (Missy Franklin) is 17. 17!! I am looking forward to seeing more US ladies on the swimming podiums this year. Let's get some relays, gals!
Yes, he has smoulder, but he will provide some of the greatest races because he will be up against...
I'm not picking a favorite here, I just want to see the fastest races possible.
This guy just won the Tour de France! And no he's not taking a break, he is competing. I have to catch me some of this action.
How fierce are these women diving off for the Tri?! And while it's all about the biking, I will be rooting for the girls who conquer in the first leg in the water.
Divers are gymnasts on speed. To do something so beautiful while falling through space, I don't even have the proper words to show how awe-inspiring good diving is.
I like this picture of the marathon trials in Houston. Look at their hands; I love the skimpy running suit with the gloves because it is probably freezing! It won't be freezing during the August marathon in London. I will be excited to watch the runners and find out where the course takes them.
That is just the short list of what I really want to watch this year. There are others I always enjoy-syncro swimming, fencing.
