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.
