Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved to watch the Olympics. I'm not athletic in the least, so I love watching people who dedicate themselves to their sport and then triumph at the Olympics. I love the commaraderie and feel good stories that come out of each Olympics. I enjoy cheering for the underdog.
I love the fact that Salt Lake City was a host city 8 years ago.
I love that there are all kinds of "new" events in the winter Olympics now, especially the snowboarding competitions.
The one sport I truly love to watch, though, is short track speed skating, and it's all because of this guy:
Apolo Ohno
They'll be hitting the short track again on Wednesday. (I'm thinking I need to watch for when these guys hold competitions and practice here in Utah at our Olympic oval. Apolo actually lives and trains here. I think it would be so much fun to watch a competition in real life.)
I believe that the snowboarding competitions start tonight and I'm totally looking forward to it.

I'm with you, I am getting sucked into the 5 ring circus!!
That was a GREAT race!! It was so unbelieveable at the end when that Korean knocked himself and his teammate out!!
I love watching Apollo too and I am always amazed they don't slice someone's fingers off with those big blades!
I freakin LOVE the Olympics.
And Apolo.
You should come watch it here on the big screen. Apolo is larger than life. For reals.
i LOVE the speed skating too...that race was SOOOO exciting, I was cheering out loud too! Go USA!
