I love the Olympics. During the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver I had the TV on whenever I was in the house, at times also having my computer open on the coffee table so I could watch one event online and one on the TV. The coffee shop I worked in at the time had a TV so when I wasn't making coffee I was watching the screen. If you look at my blog posts from that time, they are almost all about the Games. While I don't have to same emotional attachment to swimming, cycling and rowing that I do to figure skating, speed skating and hockey, I love watching the Summer Olympics as well. If I were in Canada right now you can be sure the TV would be on and I would be cheering for Clara Hughes, Alexander Despatie and all the rest.
Unfortunately I am not in Canada. I don't have a TV in my apartment here and my internet is much to slow to watch anything that way. I have caught a glimpse of a boxing match in a bar and a piece of the opening ceremonies at a restaurant but for the most part I have to content myself with reading about it all after the fact. Regardless, I am still cheering and enjoying the games in my own way. However, I will make sure that wherever I am in the world in 2014 I will have access to TV or fast internet so I can watch the Sochi Winter Games.
Anyone want to share their favourite Olympic moments so far? Are you watching the Games? Feel free to leave me a comment and tell me all about it! Go Canada!
We've spent the last week in the USA, and as far as coverage of Canadian atheletes and results we may as well have been in Bujumbura. Talk about one-sided coverage!!!!. The last 2 days, back in Northern Ontario we have been able to keep up with Canadian and American, as well as other countries' progress on CTV.
