The Olympics

I love the Olympics, but seriously some of it is so boring. Running is one of those events that is boring to me. Almost any kind of track and field is boring to me, I mean watching someone run 26 miles is just crazy (it's also crazy to actually run the 26 miles, yuck). Has anyone noticed how all those runners look anorexic? Even the gymnasts have more bulk than the runners. 

My favorite event however is the gymnastics. I love watching the grace of the gymnasts because it reminds me when I wanted to do gymnastics. I loved the balance beam and the bars as a kid. My favorite gymnastic event is by far the uneven bars. There's something about watching them spin around and around those bars. The rhythmic gymnasts are awesome as well. I'm them as I write this and they are so cool, it's like dance with ropes or hula-hoops. I loved dance when I was a kid as well and was in every form of dance possible (ballet, tap, jazz, you name it). But I was certainly not graceful enough to pull of what these girls do in their routines. 

I'm also a little enthralled by the equestrian events, although I haven't watched any yet. I used to love to ride horses as well and it was a ton of fun. I can't wait to see it. 

Ever since I was little girl I was fascinated by synchronized swimming, so I have set my dvr to record the team competitions on Saturday. Ever since I saw an old movie where they were performing synchronized swimming I wished they had some performance that I could go see.  Sadly, I missed the synchronized diving and that sounded like something I would have enjoyed. 

I can't wait to see the other events, they are so fun to watch.
