The Olympics are on tonight! YAY! I LOVE THE OLYMPICS.
This year, it is taking place in Beijing, if I spelled it right. The stadium is designed like a “nest”. That is how my mom described it to me hehe. She also pointed out that the stadium in my Mario and Sonic at the Olympics wii game looks like the real stadium. -_-. Some people just notice the WIERDEST things.
Anyways, the events that I am most excited for are definetly Volleyball and Beach Volleyball. I love volleyball, I play it ALOT, going to try out for my high school team, watch it on tv, blahblahfreakingblah. I’m really excited to see the US play! I hope they take the gold!
I also like Diving, I find it really cool. Especially Synchronized Diving. The way it looks is so awesome! Gymnastics is also awesome. I used to be a gymnast, so I love watching all of the events. Floor, Beam, Bars, Vault . . . love it all! I try to watch as much Olympics as I can when it is on TV!
I really like the Opening Ceremony though, with all the countries walking in. Some countries have over 100 athletes representing there country. . . and some only have one. I would be very proud to be the only person out of an entire nation going to the Olypics. I would be proud just to even GO to the Olympics.
In those commercials for the Olympics that I have been seeing on TV for months, one for a credit card talks about how it brings the world together. It really does. For a couple of weeks, we forget about the fighting and problems going on and compete and unite as a world for this event.
I think that is pretty sweet, that one game can unite a world, even for a short while.
