Olympics 2008

I really dislike the sprinters. Their egos are way too huge. That guy was showboating before he even finished. I wish he had tripped and lost.

Hooray for the US women's foil team who won a silver medal yesterday! First ever US medal for team fencing. They look so excited in the photos and a local woman was on the team. Great coverage in this morning's paper.

I would agree. He is obviously an amazing runner, but a little sportsmanship wouldn't have hurt any.

Hmm, I guess it's all a matter of perception, then. From the look on his face, I believed it was elation and some surprise that he was alone up front. Prior to the run, they'd talked about his biggest competition, and to not see them in his periphery must have been a thing of shock and joy.


I'm still enjoying the Olympics immensely. Unfortunately, I'll be missing the last week of it being in Cali. (Worse yet, I'll be so busy, I won't have time to hang out with anyone )
