I fell in love with the Olympics in 1984…when the Olympics were in Los Angeles, where I was growing up. I was fortunate to be able to see a few events, especially baseball games…the folks had season tickets to Dodger Stadium and that’s where the ’84 Olympic Baseball games were held.
I LOVE watching the Olympics…I love all the fluff stories of the athletes, the hosting city, the hosting culture, the whole she-bang. I especially love the Winter Olympics. There are less events, but I really enjoy watching all of them…yes, even curling. Gotta love the Norwegian curling pants…red, white and blue argyle! WOW, they stood out. I don’t recall ever watching as much Olympic coverage as I did this year…much to Brian and David’s chagrin! LOL – we are talking 16 days out of every 2 years, they will live.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada put on quite an Olympic show. The performances and contests were beautiful…no hints of cheating/doping scandals, it seemed that everyone put forward their best foot, and it was such a joy to watch.
I’m sad it is over…it’s such a let down after all the pomp and circumstance. Two years until the London Olympics and four years until the Socchi.ru Olympics…I still want to get to a Winter Olympics before I die. Maybe I can combine my loves of Russia and Winter Olympics and hit the 2014 games. Only time will tell.
