Is there such thing as too much Olympics?
The first week of the Olympics, we watched the games every night with enthusiasm from 8pm to midnight, tolerating the excess commercials and commentators lecturing us what to watch for and what to think. Starting the second week, we definitely had too much of those, and missing our sleep, our movie nights and our sanity.
Last night though, I caught the recording of the Canada v.s. U.S. man's hockey game, and it was so exciting! The Americans weren't as good as the Canadians throughout the game, but the final score was very dignifying 2:3, and it went overtime.
During the medal ceremony, the Americans were visibly depressed, it looked as if they just wanted to go to their locker room and cry. If you want to see how boys look like when they lost a good fight, this is the perfect picture. If you really want to see it, I have it recorded in my DVR.
I have to say the Americans Hockey players did well, and they should be proud of themselves. Miller is amazing!!!
I didn't expect to be a fan, either, but it turned out to be very entertaining. The women's figure skating was especially captivating. I think the allure for us might have been the element of danger - it was hard to breathe while watching some of the events.
ReplyDeleteYes, we loved the figure skating, but was still hoping the judges could be more FAIR. We thought the Americans should have gotten higher scores, but got ripped off. I'm glad that Lysacek beat Plushenko to get the gold. Plushenko's routine was so sloppy and he was so snobby saying he should have gotten the gold. I don't like him.
ReplyDeleteWe also liked most of the other events. Just had no clue about curling... The fact that the players were so serious about it really was humerus.
