I told myself that I wouldn't get invested in the Olympics this year. After all, the winter Olympics is kind of like the red-headed (sorry, Amber) step-child of the Olympics, isn't it? I know there are only two kinds but it seems like the summer games are a lot more popular. Or maybe that depends where you live. Canada and any Nordic country? Winter Olympics is probably more popular in those areas. Plus I think there are more athletes wearing less clothes in the summer Olympics which provides some eye candy just in case you find the sport they're playing boring.
Anyway, so here I am putting off studying for an exam I have tomorrow blogging and watching the Olympics. I'm not picky to the sport either. I will watch anything! Well, except curling because that's boring. Thank God for DVR because I don't think I could handle all those stupid commercial interruptions.
Speaking of, I think NBC's coverage is horrendous. Nothing shown is ever live and even when it is "live", it's on tape delay. It'd be nice to be able to experience an event as it's happening once in a while...
Oh, I also think I'm dating Russian ice skater, Yvgeny Plushenko. I didn't think I would be, but I'm really into the men's figure skating. I love Johnny Weir! While I was watching the men skate last night, they showed training footage of a Canadian skater named Patrick Chan. Dude does some hardcore stuff, especially with core and Pilates exercises. I have to give a lot of credit to figure skaters because it seems like their training is just as hard as any other athlete maybe even more so.
