The "Uh"lympics......

I used to think Golf was the most 'non' athletic sporting event you could find.


boy was i wrong....




So i got home from work last night ready to watch the olympics, i love the olympics. Especially the summer ones. They are truly a testament to an atheletes physical superiority. So i turned on the tv.... fencing was on. Well thats neat. I guess its been around for along time, its probably pretty cool to do, i'll wait for the next event to get better....



Badminton.... wow.



The intensity of hitting a shuttle cock in a court the size of my bathroom! I was unable to take my eyes off the screen!! It was between the American, Eva Lee, and her Canadian nemisis, whom she's never defeated, Ann Rice.




















(yes this is our 'American' badminton team member....)



So after watching Eva fall to Rice in a nailbiting 3rd game i was ready for the next event.



Air Rifle Target Shooting! Hmmmm....


You know they actually wear super stiff leather to prevent their bodies from shaking. I mean the physical demand it must take to train for that is unreal....






















Next.....

EQUESTRIAN!!!!







Talk about physical superiority of an athlete, they jump, twist, run, trot and do it with such grace and beauty.... the horse of course.... why in the crap is this an olympic sport, give the horse the freakin medal, you didn't do anything but ride and steer!!!!




So, after watching these i realized why they would want to remove softball and baseball as an olympic sport....... i mean one of the most difficult things to do is hit a moving object with another moving object, why would we want THAT as an olympic sport?!?




I did get to watch Volleyball today, so that renewed my hope in the olympics. plus i know the 'athletes' are still yet to come. Gymnastics, swimming, running... you know...
