The 2008 Olympics
I love the fact that the Olympics are currently on. That is one thing that I look forward to watching every 4 years. I have always loved sports and watching the USA compete for the gold is so exciting. The competition has been fierce this time around. Countries such as India and China are doing really well.
The gymnastics competition was on a couple of nights ago and I heard that China swept them away. It’s easy to believe though because I watched a special on the news the night previous to the gymnastics competition and one of China’s head coaches explained the grueling practices these young children go through. Everything from 8 hour practices a day for 6 year-olds and up to being hand picked to be an Olympian. I guess every country has it’s own rules and ideas and will do what it takes to be the best.
Was probably the best opening ceremony ever done at an Olympic event!
