Summer: I love to watch the women's uneven bars. I think that it's so crazy to see them flip and fly around those bars. It is scary because this can happen.
I BARELY remember the magnificent seven even though I was 13 at the time! It seems like I should remember that better. I do know I watched them compete, but maybe I was just too concerned with who liked who in middle school band at the time. Yikes. I will also say that I have seriously enjoyed watching Michael Phelps win and win and win. But, as for the most beautiful sport I think gymnastics definitely has that won.
Winter: I used to love me some figure skating. Yamaguchi, Kwan, Witt, Kerrigan... I haven't watched as much in the past few olympics as you can tell by all my dated name references. So I need a new sport to pick, hmmmmmmmmmm...speed skating is kind of cool.
I like the summer sports better.
I can't believe you don't remember the Magnificent 7. I SOOOO remember watching them in '96 and was obsessed with Dominique, Kerri, and Shannon. The rest were all kind of a blur, but I specifically remember loving "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," even more after Dominique's floor routine. You were a ballerina so you had your creative outlet where as I was a country girl with no dance or gymnastics so the Olympics was amazeballs. And yes, I love watching the gymnastics and track....and quidditch. ;0)
ReplyDeleteI know, I feel like I should remember it! I really think it was the band thing. : )
