I watched the end of the pairs figure skating this morning. WE taped it last night, and I didn't want to write until I saw the end.
Have I mentioned that I love the Olympics?
What is it about athletes devoted or crazy enough to spend 18 years together pursuing a dream of Olympic gold medals that gets me right there?! This Chinese couple--now married--were competing together before some of the women in the other pairs were born! Holy cow. That is dedication to your sport.
I love the stories the NBC guys come up with--the Canadian skier with the older brother who has cerebral palsy. Or the US Snowboarder who missed winning the gold in Torino because she got a little ahead of herself in celebrating a win before her run was over.
It is like 16 days of good, old-fashioned Kodak commercials. Now that is some good stuff.
