I have Actually Enjoyed these Olympics......

Posted by Keith G.

I have to admit I have been hooked each night by the Olympics. I found myself entrenched in all the drama and personal stories they reported on and even enjoyed the competition. However, what I am most surprised at is I think I actually enjoyed the Women's sports the most. I realize the overall sex appeal helps sell the story of women's Olympics but I think I truly enjoyed the personal drama's and elegance the women portrayed.


I think my favorite competition so far has been Women's gymnastics. With the Ongoing rivalry between the U.S. and China and the subplot of the Chinese "reportedly" cheating to beat the U.S. and just the pure competition aspect it has been the most riveting aspect I have enjoyed. To see these young women dedicate their lives to something and then lay it all on the line in one moment is truly unbelievable. The best....I mean most riveting part is when their one moment in time comes up....and they screw up. Can you imagine preparing and dedicating your whole existence to something and then when your chance comes...you blow it?????? Also, I think NBC and Bob Costas should hire Bela Karolie to be a sideline reporter for every sport....immediately. He made the Gymnastics so much more fun to watch. The Way he broke things down and flat out accused the Chinese of cheating he reminds me of a wise drunken Grandfather at a family reunion that owns the party.

I also enjoyed the Womens track and Field. I felt horrible for Lolo Jones. They kept on telling her incredible story and then she chokes and hits a hurdle and doesn't place in the top ten. How heartbreaking would that be? Although, deep down I think she will bounce back with some modeling gig down the line. Speaking of Track and Field, What about Usain Bolt? That guy was unreal. Yes, Michael Phelps is the story of the 2008 Olympics but Bolt completely dominated his competitions.

Lastly, I think I finally found my new favorite sport that I hope to start training for and might be able to compete in the 2012 Olympics. Team Handball!!! If you haven't checked out a game you must watch. That sh*t looks awesome. I am looking for teammates to start a league and start training for 2012.

It has been a pretty good Olympics, so far. The women's volleyball is my favorite sport, I don't know what it is about those girls in the sand, but it awesome.

I was reading up on Handball and it is a lot like Ultimate Frisbee, I that we could get a pretty good team together.

How about a post about who the hottest female olympian is?

I vote hands down Nastia Luiken. Nobody is even close. I just hope that she is legal. Otherwise I am just a sick, old man.

Dude....there are soo many that it is hard to say. I guess if I had to vote it would be for Leryn Franco the chick at the bottom.....

Nastia Luiken???? She seems like a biatch......she's hot and 18....I like Sacromone much better......and yes she is 18 also....I researched it before I put her pic up.

J Dubs was telling me the other day that his vote goes to the record breaking 8 gold medals winner Michael Phelps, he said and I quote " that kid can swim naked laps in my pool any day!"

so you figured out how to use the intranet mikey! how long did it take you to remember your password?

I am certain that is not my quote, but I do remember you remarking on the size of his feet and asking if the myth about big feet was true.
