I Got Olympic Fever!

Is it cold in here or are my goosebumps coming from the greatest swimming race I have ever seen?


After watching this race I had Goosebumps the size of the Olympic Rings!

Intentionally ignoring my duties at work (it was a slow day)I watched the Men's 4x100m relay while practically yelling at the TV in our reception area.

"I'm sorry," I told everyone, "I just love the Olympics!"

Thankfully most of the action takes place after business hours, or at least thats when it airs here in Europe. I even watched mens and womens rowing during my lunch break. You read correctly, rowing! I don't know what it is about it but it kept me entertained for a full 45 minutes!!

I just love the Olympics. Where else can you ride a horse around a ring or play ping pong in front of a global audience? I have watched more complete Badminton and Water Polo matches (2) in the last two days than I have in the last 25 years.

And it's not just watching the Americans. I couldn't help but tune in to the seventeen year old Chinese guy who was weight lifting almost three times his weight. And those little Thai guys are small but they were throwing around alot more than I could.

I don't know why these games bring out the biggest fan in me. Maybe it's because it only happens every four years, or maybe cause I'm just a huge fan of competetion at anything [ like showing up to work the earliest just to say I was first, :)]All I know is I LOVE THE OLYMPICS!!!
