Ok, I know that I have a few more pictures to post, but I had to add this little point. I have been watching the Olympics. The commentators have provided the most entertainment for me than anything else. This evening while watching the mens springboard diving competation. The lady commentator proceeded to give us a physics lesson on springboard diving. "The higher you jump, the more force is applied to the springboard, consquently the board catapults the diver higher." This was stated with arrows in case you were confused about how springboarding diving worked. The higher you jump on a springboard, the higher you go in the air. I learned something, not so new today.
I have also enjoyed watching the not so popular sports. Badminton was super competative and ping pong. Water polo a new favorite. Trampoline-waste of time or 34 years old are still jumping on trampolines. Oh, Women's team handball-those women are brutual. Women's Beach Volleyball has been shown too much. I can't understand how women can play in the sand in those little outfits. Sand everywhere, think about it. How can they play with no clothes? I have enjoyed that we are finally seeing more indoor volleyball. Sweetness.

Travis makes me mute the tv when that dumb lady diving commentator is talking. She's the worst!
Oh, you should have seen the BMX racing, that was awesome! It was on last night and I was mesmerized.
Rachel, "just incase u r the dumb "hick" from Alabama I'll tell u how the springboard works". Commentators are the #1 over paid "instruction manual" to ANY sport! :) I have 2 eyes I can see HOW it works thank you very much! :)I have to agree w/u, commentators make me arrrghhhhh!
Rachel, I was laughing at that diving comment when she said it. I'm glad someone else caught that lesson in physics. I completely agree with beach volleyball.
