Olympic Happiness

[harvestar]

Just wanted to post that other than the fact that my stomach is being annoying, I do love being sick this time of year and staying home all day to watch Olympics (with a fuzzy kitty on my lap). I'm such an Olympics junkie - I watch it all and love it all.

Right now, it's the Canada-Sweden gold medal match in Women's Hockey.

My favorite moments so far:

-the fact that they are showing curling live!!! I fell in love with this during the Nagano games, watching it while doing homework on the Canadian channel. :) The US men are really great to watch. :) Such neat, tricky shots.

- the Chinese figure skating pair coming back from a horrible fall to win silver - I thought they did deserve it - the rest of their program was *flawless*

ooh, Canada's up 2-0. They really are just lovely to watch!

- the Italian men winning the cross country relay race by 30 seconds (though the anchor took a few seconds to grab an Italian flag and then walk across the finish line). I love it when the home country has such a triumphant moment like that.

- Evan's lovely long program in the men's figure skating

- the American ice dancers last night - so good! I hope their long program does well too. Looking forward to watching it tonight.

- the exuberance of the snowboarders! And the new snowboard cross!! Such fun to watch. :)

Oh, and the fact we have Tivo this year and I can actually tape all I want to. whee!

Curling is a sport I definitely don't understand. The guy who owned the house we were staying at over the weekend was watching it for hours, and I was starting to get desperate for something like figure skating or snowboarding or whatever. Something where people were moving and I got it more. But at least it wasn't the luge. Oddly enough, that seems to always be on during the random times we turn on the Olympics.
