Countdown to the Olympics!

I am so excited for the Olympics to start! I love watching both the summer and winter games. I would have to say that my favorite summer event is diving. It is awe-inspiring to watch those high dives, especially for someone like me who has a fear of heights and can't swim!

So are you planning to watch the Olympics? If so, what is your favorite event?

I love the Olympics!! I'll watch anything that is on but I especially love the gymnastics, swimming and diving events. But my absolute favorite things to watch are the "human interest" segments on the athletes. I fall for every single hard luck sob story and then cheer like crazy when those athletes compete!

I the Olympics. I always tear up at the opening and closing ceremonies. I agree that the human interest stories are the best. I'll be spending too much time watching the tube once they start.
