yayayayay! olympics! time has passed by so quickly, i still remember 2008, and parts of 2004.
need to exert so much self control not to over-watch olympics. i woke up late-ish today, but just in time to see the olympic torch being passed and the whole flame thing. my brother woke at 5.30am to see the beginning (he's not a morning person) so once they got to the country part (which took over an hour) he fell asleep and missed the part i watched....but it got replayed in the arvo...
i really love how every country has its own speciality to portray, and all the stories behind it.
as i've said before, my favourite sports are: swimming, gymnastics and synchronised diving. oh, and equestrian except they hardly ever show it. i think they've over-showed swimming today. i want to see some floor work for gymnastics! i love their costumes (: i actually don't follow Olympics tennis, it's not the same feel as grand slams. also, track and field isn't really interesting unless it's the 100m men finals.
the only thing i like about road cycling is when they crash (but then i feel really heartless and then very sad since the person who fell caused 10 other people's injury/can't continue, 30 people tangled in massive mob, 20+ people had to ride on grass to divert from mob and more than 20 bikes need change of wheels, and then they just fall behind...)
i don't get why they chose the basketballer. i didn't even know since until like yesterday. why can't they choose people like jones who is participating in her 4th games.
on a side note, just read happy apple's post. my brother got to touch the sydney one and stood next to the athens one back in '04 at this kids club thing. i wanted to go as well, but i had my own sleepover party to attend that friday night...
how did '08 year 12's restrain from watching olympics? i actually haven't been on fb for over a week, not even on phone since i ACTUALLY HAVE NO TIME, yet, i somehow find time to watch tv =/
