Is it just me or is anyone else watching the Olympics as rabidly as I am? I have been glued to the television since the opening ceremonies, watching NBC's coverage of the games every night since. For one there's Michael Phelp's historic quest for eight gold medals. It seemed hard to imagine in the not so distant past that anyone would ever surpass Mark Spitz' seven-medal mark. The relay race where the Americans beat the French by mere hundredths of a second was one of the most exciting sporting events I have ever seen. I love watching all the swimming events but I've also been watching beach volleyball, gymnastics, diving -- sports I never watch outside of the Olympics. These late nights are catching up with me though. Lucky for me the Olympics only lasts a couple of weeks. In the meantime, I'll continue admiring the performances, imagining what it would be like to be an athlete of that caliber and cheering on Team USA.
