I admit it. I am an
Olympic junkie. I love it. The fact that they only happen every four
years makes it even more special. Now
you know I have an opinion on everything, and of course I have opinions about
the Olympics. Here are some of my
rambling views.
· Trampoline is an Olympic sport?! Really?!
Are you kidding me?! My
seven-year-old cousin could do that! She’s
pretty good on a trampoline. The IOC got
rid of baseball and softball, but they put in trampoline?! I’m still questioning this one.
· Water polo.
Men in Speedos. ‘Nuff said.
· Russian gymnasts need to get over
themselves. Listen up, chickies. You aren’t always going to win. Suck it up.
· Speaking of gymnastics, when did it become
appropriate to pay judges for an appeal?
Does the mafia run gymnastics now?
What do they do with this money?
Seems a little shady to me.
·
Swimming.
More men in Speedos.
·
I love watching Debbie Phelps. She’s awesome. I love that Michael Phelps still gets all
emotional even after winning 157 gold medals.
Shows you that his mama raised him right.
·
I didn’t like watching Ryan Lochte’s dad get all
pissy after his son lost. Shows you
where this guy’s priorities are. I was a
big Lochte fan, but after all this I’m not so sure. Oh yeah.
He also admits to peeing in the pool.
Major ewwwww factor. Major.
·
Beach volleyball. Not enough men in Speedos.
·
I wonder how many other swimmers pee in the
pool.
· Where does the 6’9” female Chinese basketball
player buy clothes? I’m pretty sure
there aren’t many big and tall stores in China.
· There is a U.S. volleyball player named Destiny
Hooker. Were her parents trying for a
self-fulfilling prophecy? Thankfully she
got into volleyball instead of street walking.
· Why aren’t the field events shown more on
TV? Last night we got a 15 minute
analysis of a 10 second race. Long jump
got about three minutes. I want to see
pole vaulting. Javelin and shotput are
cool. We need to see more of that.
· Do you think Michael Phelps pees in the pool?
· There should just be a 100 point rule in
basketball whenever the Americans are playing, kind of like the 10 run rule in
baseball.
· Do divers pee in the pool?
There’s only one more week of Olympic fun to be had, so
watch and enjoy!
