I find it very hard to watch the olympics just because the coverage is always so bad.  How many special interest stories can you fit into an hour?  Well, more than you can fit athletes, apparently.

Still, I like to watch the track and field stuff.  Particularly short sprints.

And then I'm hoping for some funny moments as well.
You know, the "second coming" of Eddie the Eagle
or that really slow swimmer from a few years back

You wouldnt know where to find a youtube video for that would you?  I remember my brother telling me about it and quickly watching a highlight of it, but I wanna see it again.  From what I rememeber, it was an emotional moment too.  I mean, they said the guy had never practiced in a real olympic swimming pool.

Didn't know his name but
Google is indeed our friend.

Why should that matter?


They have a sport where you need a bike, a rifle and a sword. 








Anyone looking forward to watching the Walking?
