Olympics
 

My students are not really all that interested in these Olympics. I think part of it is because they have no frame of reference for these snow sports. I'm wondering which Olympics you enjoy more and if you have a fave event.

Since I'm blessed in my life to know several former Olympic athletes, a few even have medals .... and all of them are in the summer games venues .... I guess I'll say I prefer the summer ones, though the skating events can be so very beautiful to watch. My favorites though would have to be the volleyball ones ... indoor and beach ... I love em both.

Easy...Winter Olympics---Hockey!!

winter games ,down hill racing ,ski jump

Speed Skating, Bonnie Blair and I learned on the same track. I got to meet her after she won her first Gold metal. Also like short track racing.

I guess I am getting old (like I really need to guess, boy can I say some stupid things sometimes) but recently I have come to enjoy the finer points of curling. Must be all that Canadian air that is blowing down I-5 to Seattle, eh?

Winter here...figure skating (love those short skirts), short track speed skating, skeleton(Tristan Gale is HOT), Luge, Snowboarding, Hockey, hell..I like just about all of it, I'll even watch Biathalon!

I love love the winter games. May be my background in snow sports, but I love all the skiing events, especially moguls. I also like speed skating, luge, and bobsled.

I JUST MET A GOLD MEDALLIST TODAY!!!! Donovan Bailey was at my office! AT MY OFFICE!!!! 100 m sexy man!!! I saw him run across the road!!! :D

(The Americans who work in the office didn't know who he was -- he's a big hero here for the '96 gold in the 100m & the relay with Bruny Surin)

It's a wonderful international cultural event celebrating dedication to the body.

My fave event will be hockey. We won gold for female & male hockey in 2002 & it was a happiness that can't be explained. I don't think we'll do the double this time but I'll be cheering like a madwoman (cuz I'm not crazy as it is).

LOL They're going alphabetically & Dan just yelled, "Venezuela? What the hell? There are two of them!!"

Same as the Jamaican bobsledders, I guess.

I like the winter Olympics better - I love watching the hockey as well as all the rest because it's all stuff I would really suck at if I tried :D

I like the summer games. I’m hoping to see Steph on the Javelin Catching team in 08. :D

I've been dying to catch your javelin for years now. :rolleyes:

I've been waitin' 12 minutes for this reply...lmao!!

You'll catch something, anyway.

I never thought I would see this in type! *faint*
