2. Do we really need the shot put, the discus, AND the javelin? If so, could we combine them into a "throwing things triathlon" and call it good?
3. I am probably the only person who didn't know that "My Country 'Tis of Thee" is a rip off of England's national anthem.
4. On behalf of women everywhere, THANK YOU to whomever decided that male swimmers can't wear the suits that cover their torso. Thank you.
5. Watching sprinters' faces in slow motion at the end of the race is really not attractive.
6. I'm probably the first person to say this out loud, but I'm totally disinterested in Michael Phelps.

7. If "being a bad loser" was an Olympic event, the gold medal would definitely go to the Russians.
8. WHY is everything in diving so tiny? Divers, if your butt crack is showing, it's time to go up a trunk size. And can someone please give them a proper sized towel, rather than a wash cloth, when they exit the pool?
9. If I could be guaranteed the body of an Olympic track athlete, I'd start running tomorrow. Probably.
10. Parents, here's a 2 word reminder of why it's so important to think through what you're naming your child, since their name could be repeated over and over at the Olympics some day: Destinee Hooker.

11. I can handle quite a bit of cheesy-ness in athletics (ice dancing, anyone?), but synchronized swimming is too much for even me.
12. Sport I was most surprised to see at the Olympics: Women's BMX biking.??.
13. Olympics, I've really loved you these past 2 weeks, but my body is not equipped to stay up late every night. I need to go to bed at a reasonable hour again. Yes, I know I'm aging faster than Bob Costas, apparently. . .

Love it...my favorites...4,5,7,9,10,11.
(I do appreciate Michael Phelps while I'm not obsessed)
Here's a few more thoughts. I'm not as funny as you. :)
1. Someone please invent a better ear cover for water polo. I just can't watch men with bows tied under their chins. I can barely handle it for women!
2. While I appreciate the athletic ability and talent of certain events, cheesy also extends to rhythmic gymnastics in my book!
3. As much as I LOVE watching olympics...my interest is dropping quickly as we're left with the cheesy stuff, wrestling, and various versions of jumping and throwing stuff...
4. I love the USA. :)
Cheri - FYI they leave wrestling 'til the end of the Olympics just so they'll keep people coming back to watch the great sport!
