The Olympics [a smidge]

[browngirl]

I remembered the lyrics to the Jamaican National Anthem! And sang them along with Usain Bolt's medal ceremony. Bwee.

I have not gotten to see nearly as much as I would have liked of this year's Olympics, but I'm glad they are happening. I always love the Olympics. These are just plain the sort of sport I actually enjoy watching.

Does anyone remember ABC's Wide World of SPorts? "The thrill of victory.... and the agony of defeat." *cue skier rolling ass=over-teakettle down a snowy hill* I wish that were still on, a weekly dose of track/swimming/gymnastics/etc. But I'm glad the Olympics are on right now, even if I haven't seen much of them. Yet.

I spent a lot of my childhood Saturdays watching ABC's Wide World of Sports. I found myself recently wishing it was still on. I felt much more connected to Olympic athletes when seeing some of the trials. And I saw Willie Mosconi beat Minnesota Fats at a pool game on that show.
