I love the Olympics! I've watched them for so many years and this year again I'm involved. Every night I've been glued to my television watching some incredible races and crazy snowboarding tricks. I hope one day to travel to the Olympics and see first hand the excitement, until then I'm here getting choked up at the National Anthem or sitting on the edge of my seat hoping the American (or in 1 case the Canadian) win. Let's also not forget that it's the 30th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice. The birth of the "U S A" chant. When the games were not just games. For so many people it was much more but for the guys on the ice it was simply a hockey game. We love to beat the countries we rival, anyone remember the Men's swimming relay where we defeated the French by a fingertip? Yeah, that felt good. So for the next 11 days I will be rooting for USA, especially in speed skating where it will feel good to win gold over the Koreans who team skate and play dirty.
USA!
