The flying tomato, Shaun White---clearly the best. I like that type of thing, always have. For some reason, almost anything to do with winter olympics holds my attention. Last night, after the spectacular stuff and speed races, all that was on was curling. You'd be surprised how engaging that can be when you pay attention. It was all women, and some were pretty. The skill and strategy are interesting to observe.
After awhile I was wanting to text the Canadian team, advising them on strategy. I didn't do it. It was late and I had work to do this morning so I forced myself to go to sleep without seeing how the matches ended. And without exerting influence on the teams.
They not only practiced curling at the 1924 Olympics, but they also knew how to dress for the occasion. Chamonix, France
If I had a TV, I'd be watching curling, too...I've seen it in Vancouver, but that was years ago when I watched a bunch of pensioners batting those little UFOs around with brooms. Not a cute girl in the bunch.
ReplyDeleteAh, well, you just have to wait for the Olympics to take on a sport to get the lovely lassies into the game...bring on snow shoveling and inner-tubing in 2014!
