Winter Olympics (2010-03-03)
So, we enjoyed watching the Winter Olympics. Women's Figure Skating was my favorite event which captivated not only me but Efoo as well as he followed every spin and twirl of the skaters on ice.
Speaking of figure skating, why is Ice Dance there?? I mean,
you have the lifts, spins, jumps, footwork, and synchronizing moves etc
in Pairs
already, I don't understand the purpose of the Ice Dance. It's
like the event is there for the sake of giving out more medals.
And
the most important thing is, Ice Dance
is an art, it's not a sport.
Dancing
of any kind including ballet is not a sport no matter how
atheletic the dancers are.
The TV here broadcast so many hours on curling the first half of the
Games that I wanted to curl up and die! With Japan in the
preliminary round playing against nine other countries, you can imagine
the hours that event took up on the screen.
I think in any event of any Olympics, whether it be Winter or
Summer, there should only be one medal--Gold-- to one champion.
What does a silver medal mean, that you almost won but not quite?
In a sporting event, either you win it or you don't. People
usually
don't remember the second place winner after a while anyway, much less
the third. Do you remember who took the podium with Carl
Lewis in 1988?
Do you remember who stood on Katarina Witt's right side in any year
when the medals
were awarded?
Anyway, these are my not-worth-a-dime thoughts.
