2014 Sochi Winter Olympics

How did we get this far into the Olympics without me acknowledging it? Oh, I know. I've been preoccupied watching it!

Oh yes, I'm an Olympics junkie. I don't care if it's winter or summer, I watch it all. I used to be picky in what events I watched and would get upset if they put something on I felt boring. Not anymore! I love it all! It's all fantastic and I am in awe of all the athletes. Of course, I am rooting for Team U.S.A. but, even when we don't win I'm amazed by all their abilities.

My favorite winter sports include figure skating (of course!), luge, bobsled, half pipe, and speed skating. But, honestly, I'll watch it all! I've obviously become a late comer to curling and you can't get better than hockey. There are so many stories and so many incredible athletes.

So, if you need me I'll be sitting here in front of my t.v. fascinated by the Olympics.

Domo was fascinated by women's luge.

How about you? Are you watching the Olympics? Have a favorite event? Favorite athlete?

  1. Totally agree! I'm also an Olympic Addict :) Next week I'm off work and have the chance to spend in front of the tv all day long. Yeah!! It's so amazing to watch professionals athletes and hear about their struggles and how they overcame those. It makes me want to go out there and run!

    1. Yea fellow Olympics junkie! I work part-time so I've been watching it on the days I don't work. LOL! Hubby loves the Olympics too, so we feed into each other's desire to watch EVERY event. :-)

      It makes me want to try new sports too. I really want to do some cross-country skiing, but because of my training schedule for the half, I can't. We already decided next winter we will set aside a weekend or two to do it. So excited!
