What is it about the Olympics that bring out the US pride in us? Not matter what we disagree on or how "un" united we may feel at times. When we are put up in competition with the rest of the world, our Red, White and Blue pride starts to flow.
If you know me well, you know that I am serious about competition and almost overly serious about competitive sports!
(Which could have something to do with my present condition.) And the Olympics gives me a chance to overdose on athletic perfection, US pride and caffeine. (for those late night gymnastics and swim meets)
I am currently watching the AMAZINGLY CONSISTENT US mens gymnastics team!! I mean they are just rocking the gym floor tonight! This kid: Jonathan Horton is INCREDIBLE!! The entire team are all Olympic virgins ... at the last minute their Olympic Gold Medalist, Paul Hann, pulled out because of a broken hand.
This team wasn't even suppose to place after Paul Hann pulled out but they competing at such and amazing level that they may pull away with the Silver. I love this stuff...breaking the odds!! LOVE IT!!!!
I'm a volleyball player and all I can say about our women's beach team: May & Walsh........ ROCK ON GIRLS!!!! They are unstoppable! Before the olympics began they haven't lost a match since October of last year!!!
And I can't forget the relay last night at the Ice Cube.... The men's relay last night with Michael Phelps.... winning by 8/10th of a second.... AWESOME!!!!!
oh! oh! I gotta go.... gymnastics is back on... U.S.A U.S.A!!!!!
