The Olympics


This olympics i've watched more of it then I have in my whole life combined. I found a new love for this wonderful event. I had no intentions on watching but my husband loves to watch and I learned and swimming isn't borning. With Micheal Phelps it was quite entertaining. I'm going to list some of my favorite moments of the 2008 olympics.


First is Mens Basketball winning gold. The gold metal game was crazy close and I'm not sure how many times I yelled and cheered at the T.V. I can say that I really didn't like Kobe so much but after these games I really respect him and think he's an incredible player.


Now I really did start getting sick of diving. China was dominating it and yes they are really good at it but I just wanted to see them fall on there butts just once. Last round of mens diving, china was in first and he was on his last dive. I think he got cocky because he totally bombed that dive. The australian in second took his dive and it was nearly perfect. The australian took the gold from china!!! Even if it wasn't U.S. I was so excited for Australia.

Of course I'm going to mention Micheal Phelps. He was amazeing and I'm sure you all know that. My favorite race was his first gold metal race. I think it was the 4x100m relay. That was a long time ago and I'm not sure exsactly what happened but I remember it made swimming not boring any more. GO U.S.A!!!

Men's and Women's Beach volleyball. The men's game I had recorded and I was able to watch the first 2 rounds. The game was tied and the recording stopped. I was so upset. I did look up the results after and learned they got gold. but I would have loved to see the end. The women don't lose games and I didn't exsept them to lose this one. Durning the game I had to rethink about that. The game was so close at one point I doubted them. Silly me they don't lose.
