This seems to be a very exciting year for the Olympics. I was hesitant when some of my friends were getting excited about the Olympic Games. But I must admit, I have been bit by the bug. With all the current issues in the world (wars, economy, politics), it’s nice for us to come together as a country and route for Team USA.

Michael Phelps is just amazing. To the point, that I wonder, how. I pray nothing comes back on him later that he’s doing something illegal. A couple of these races he’s been so far ahead, he’s already gotten his goggles and cap off before the other swimmers touch the wall. Most of the time he doesn’t even really seem out of breath. From what I’ve heard, he’s like the Lance Armstrong of swimming. He has the perfect body conditions to help him be more extraordinary than others. Tonight, he tied with the record of gold medals at 7. It was luck folks. He and Calvic Miliard where there at the same time. It was pure luck that he touched first. Even Michael knew it was luck. Nonetheless, he is still awesome. Tomorrow night he goes for a record breaking 8.

France, all I can say is thank you. Your arrogance fueled our success. 

Kerry Walsh and Misty May are awesome as well. They have played 104 matches without a lose. These two women are 30 years old and they are in crazy good shape. They make it look easy. But, last night when they played Norway, I was sweating for them. One of the women on Team Norway is 6′4. Kerry is 6′2. They gave us a run for our money but in the end Team USA came through.

So if I’m a little tired if you see me out, it’s due to my late nights watching Team USA do it’s thing. I’ll have plenty of time to rest between 8.24.08 and 2012.
