Him: Olympics

More of a rant than a blog, but I needed somewhere to vent some frustrations about this years Olympic Games.

I've never been a huge fan of the Olympics, but have always enjoyed watching events and cheering on the athletes, be they Canadian or not. Of course I am super excited to see the Canadians excel, if another country has outstanding athletes I will cheer for them as well. Such is the case for China and their divers, good for them!

I want to point out though that only watching for a few days, on NBC of course, as I am living in the US. What about the other countries! Seems that every second I watch it is of the US teams doing their thing. Yes, I did get to see some Canadians, and Brits, and Aussies, but only because they were competing at the same time as the US. Yes, I agree that the US should focus on their athletes since they want to show support and pride, but there are other events and people to see too! I would love to see events that don't involve the US sometimes. Yes the US are in the top three, and they are doing great, but they aren't the only ones winning medals.

It's nothing horrible, but I seemed to have spend the better part of two hours the last night watching US athletes perform in preliminary matches instead of seeing a medal match that doesn't have any US athletes in it.

In all, I am enjoying the Games, and I hope that all athletes enjoy their time and push themselves to the limits for their country, just wish I could see more of the Games as a whole and less of the US only parts.

-Another great day
