Closing ceremonies so I can stop seeing and hearing about the Olympics. Get off my lawn, Olympics.
I hope you are joking. Its a shame that we don't celebrate the Olympics more. It is a joyous occasion here all international strife is put aside to see some amazing feats. And there are those like you who don't appreciate what it means to the world.
Nobody has to love the Olympics. I don't care for them. I understand that they mean alot for many people, but I'm not one of them. It's an athletic competition....in the grand scheme of things it doesn't mean much IMO. The guy just expressed that he didn't care for the Olympics. I don't see the big deal in that. Inevitably, it's going to get negged in a thread about the Olympics, and it probably should be because it's just like those posters that don't like the NBA and complain about it in an NBA thread. Silly. But you don't have to get on your soapbox when someone expresses that they don't like the Olympics....as if it's morally wrong or something.
Here it is embedded:
I love their dancing, too, but the write up from that article talks about how happy the marathoner is to be there.... despite the fact that the commentary on the accompanying video clearly states he is sorting out a visa issue and is still stuck in the U.S.
2004, watching my classmate and friend Justin Gatlin win the Gold Medal in the 100m.
I'm not a huge fan of the Olympics and really only care about team sports and a few other events. But in the last Winter Olympics, I was ecstatic and elated when Parise tied the game up and sent us into OT with Canada.
What happened after that is my least favorite Olympic moment.
Kerri Strug sticking the landing on one foot to give the US the gold.
In the 1984 Olympic games in LA, her body giving up in the final of the marathon and still finishing. Not sure to embed
and that hockey team in Lake Placid.
P.S. Didn't much care for the dancing independents. It was a little over the top for me.
Yeah, i thought it was a bit idiotic to be honest.
Right up there with Ryan Lochte's ridiculous mouthpiece.
Best moments for me are anything involving the Nordic female athletes.
Canoeing rivalries and table tennis between powerhouse communist states has been wonderful to watch. Not to mention the outstanding coverage provided NBC and its sponsors.
Dave Wottle coming out of nowhere in the 1972 800m where he moves from last place to first in the final 200m to win the gold medal.
Doesn't get any better than that...
