So! The Olympics! What are everyone's favorite sports? Who are you cheering for this year? I enjoy watching bobsledding, figure skating, and various downhill skiing events.
Discussion?

Seth Wescott! *squeals* Yes, most definetely a Seth fan. First off, I love the name Seth. Second, he lives in Maine (and skis at Sugarloaf! Hehe...). Third, I met him a year or two ago at an old surf/ski/snowboard shop in Portland. He signed a poster for me (haha I think it says "To Paige, have fun, ski fast" or something like that lol). It's hanging in my room and makes me happy. But yes, I'm very happy he got the gold.

We have a dish, so we've been recording all the sports. Hmmmmm, I really like to watch any kind of ice skating. I'm so happy for the people skating because I've wanted to since I was about five! But, alas, there aren't many ice skating rinks in Georgia:( I also like skiing which I also want to try before I perish, the biatholon is pretty cool, hockey, luging can get a bit tiring to watch. The bobsledding is amusing:) Did anybuggy hear about the jamaican bobsledding team there was back in the 70s or 80s? And then they made a movie out of it!
Who am I cheering for? Apolo Ohno, and the people in hockey who, when the other team starts beating up on them, sticks up for themselves (by means of fighting back) lol. Does that make sense?

*Sniffle* The Olympics are ending today:( I'm always sad when the Olympics end
Now we have to wait four years for the winter Olympics to be back, and two years until the summer Olympics. Do you think Apolo Ohno is going to do speed skating again in the next winter Olympics? Do you think Shawn Johnson is going to do gymnastics in the next summer Olympics???

Ahhh! Watching the Olympics right now! The USA vs Canada hockey game (for the gold) is on right now!! *biting nails furiously* Go USA!! It's USA-1 Canada-2 right now! Eeeeep!!! *cheers for USA* I've been telling them what to do the whole time.:) It's pretty funny. I'm like "No! Stop! Turn! Okay, pass to that guy! No! Catch it! How'd you miss that?! Get it from them! No!!! Don't let them score! Oh! Good job! Now turn around! Good! Shoot! No! Bad Canadian goalie! Don't catch it! Ahh! Get it back, USA!!" It's really getting on my dad's nerves, which is pretty funny, to. *grin* He turns 40 tomorrow! /random/

Ditto what the first commenter said. My favorite person is definitely APOLO ANTON OHNO. I am obsessed with him. He is definitely the coolest person in the entire world. So, of course, I love short track speed skating, I love bobsledding, Luge, Skeleton, the Biathlon, and others.
