The Olympics are the only time I like to watch TV, it is something new and not the boring old, Reality TV shows or the Drama shows that are usually on. It just brings something new for those 2-3 weeks that it is on. This is will also be my first year being able to watch and be entertained by the Olympics see how last year I was only 10 years old and didn’t care too much about the Olympic Games.
One of my favorite sports to match believe it or not is curling! Why? Well because there’s a lot more to it than just throwing a large stone down the alley and then sweep in front of it, there’s many things you have to take into account, you have know how hard you have to throw it, how much spin, when to sweep and know to land the rock in the perfect position.
Another one of my favorite Olympic sports is the speed skating, although the US didn’t get a medal, it is still fun to watch some of the other team’s race. One of the saddest events I saw was when the guy from the Dutch changed lanes and was disqualified, although he didn’t get a medal at all and the coach probably getting fired – on the bright side another guy from the Dutch team won a medal in the same event…
My least favorite sport is the Skiing Aerials; all the skiers do the same trick over, and over and over, all the skiers truly have to do is one more flip and/or spin and land it to get a better score. Also many of the news reporters have absolutely no clue what they are talking about when they see the skiers doing the tricks.
Another big Olympic sport I dislike is the bobsled and the luge, I feel all you have to do is lie down and steer the bobsled or luge. All you have to do is steer just a little bit but anything after that the track is just carrying you.
There may be only 3 more days or so of the Olympic Games but I for sure will be watching them, hope you will too!
I remember Watching when that guy was disqualified for switching lanes. That was terrible. But I disagree with the last two paragraphs. I like the aerials because of the spins and so fast and amazing and the bobsled and luge are so fast. I like all of the events.
ReplyDeleteSpeed Skating is my favorite too. Its so funny, because after a while people start wipping out on the ice!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Olympic sport is mens ice hockey. You get to see all the great hockey players of the world. (Cindy Crosby is not one of them) I know it is supposed to be Sidney. He whines to much.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite event is the halfpipe snow boarding there just flying through the air and the tricks are just amazing.
