    ME!!! When the Olympics were in Sydney the only tickets I could get to a Gold medal session was for the Beach Volleyball. I bought them a month or so before the games started. Well what do you know…AUSTRALIA WON GOLD!!! I couldn’t believe my luck…I took my 8 year old daughter and we got to stand and belt out our National Anthem. Also my daughter had done a project on a Brazilian player and by chance we saw her walking down the street with her Bronze medal…and yes I had my camera so I snapped a photo of my daughter holding the medal. The most amazing day!!!
    So here’s cheers to the Beach Volleyball!!!

    We’ve been watching as a family and enjoying the excitement! And yes, I admit, it inspires me to eat better and move more because these bodies God gave us are amazing.

    Let’s hear it for TEAM USA!!

    I love the Olympics and I am not even a sports fan! Something about them, though, makes me want to watch. I like the individual sports better than the team ones. I just haven’t been able to watch much. Interesting story – my youngest sister actually could have gone to the Olympics (I think it was the one in China) in fencing, but had a huge project at work going on (she is an architect) and chose not to go. Crazy.

    I simply adore the Olympics. I loved them as a kid, and then in last several Olympics (when my kids were younger), I was very practical about them; I watched if I had time, but there were lots of other things to take care of (like kids.) I am once again letting myself get totally and shamelessly sucked in. I stay up late to watch, let myself cheer, and I am crying with abandon.

    Oh yes! Beach volleyball is the bomb. I miss playing! (South Dakota just isn’t a beach volleyball kinda state. Fancy that.) I’m still frustrated beyond belief by NBC’s coverage, but thank heaven for DVR’s…I have been avoiding news sources so I can watch everything a day late so I don’t have to stay up until the wee small hours of the night.

    Isn’t it amazing what that music does? It IS the Olympics to me.

    Love the video!

    What is it about the Olympics that makes you sit and watch sports that you would never watch on your own? “Look! Greco-Roman Thumb Wrestling! We must watch!” I’ll sit and watch all of it, every time. I love to see the reactions of the athletes that win. Go USA!

    I DO love the Olympics!! I had to go to a day full of meetings yesterday. I complained to my boss that it was drastically cutting into my Olympic viewing time. Fortunately for me she’s the kind of boss who doesn’t take offense to that kinda comment!

    My favorite? about any event I’ve watched. But I REALLY love Kerri and Misty! Yes they’re younger than me, but they really inspire me!

    I’ve always loved watching the Olympics. I’ve been staying up way too late watching.
    My only problem this year has been, why don’t the winners sing the anthem when it’s played. Only one of the gymnists was singing. Michael Phelps was really choked up for his relay, but one out of the other 3 only one other finally did. They don’t have to sing loud (although if I won a medal for USA, you’d all hear me above the music). Or do they just don’t know it?

    LOVE the olympics and how sweet is that Ryan Lochte. I’m a little torn with the internet. Knowing the results before I see the broadcast takes a little of the suspense out if it for me. How about you Cathy, do you check the results or wait until the broadcast?

    Every two years, I’m in Olympic heaven–whether Winter or Summer. About the only thing I refuse to watch is boxing, as I don’t feel beating someone’s brains out is a sport! Oh how I wish I knew how to swim–not competitively, but to move through the water with ease and grace. Too bad I’ve such a fear of medium to large bodies of H2O.

    I remember when I was in fourth grade (eons ago), everyone had to learn how to sing the SSB by heart. We had to stand in front of the class and sing it— each and everyone of us!
    As a music teacher, I now realize the SSB is one of the most difficult songs on earth to sing. I agree the song should be sung by the Olympians, but I don’t want to see them singing with their mouths barely moving through half-clenched teeth. I want to see it sung with gusto and great pride! Perhaps the sponsors of the Olympics need to sponsor lessons on how to present well on the podium πŸ™‚

    A little late to this party… No WiFi for past week.

    Day 8 of Athletics here in London… Olympic Park is amazing & huge & VERY crowded. The Brits’ roar for any GB athlete competing takes the roof off… OK … The roof is already off but it is thunderous. Usain Bolt is a specimen plus!

    So, yah… we have the Olympic spirit πŸ™‚
