Olympics Frenzy

The Olympics this year are so crazy and a lot of fun to watch. Men's synchronized diving was nice to watch, gymnastics and swimming were both great games to view too. I loved watching Michael Phelps swim. He is a beast @,@ I've never seen anyone swim so fast in my life. I missed the butterfly today 'cause I was doing something else, but I turned on the TV in time to see him chuck off his goggles 'cause water filled up inside them as he was swimming. I'm sad that I missed the butterfly event, but at least my dad taped it so I can watch it tomorrow or another day. I got to watch the 4 x 200m relay later and I was psyched about that. I was so anxious and hanging off the edge of my chair watching that race. It made me really happy to see the U.S. team win that relay.

Now, here's something really funny about me... I root for two teams: China & USA. Ever since I was little, it's always been that way for me. I've always liked both teams and I tend to favor the one that has more talent. So if USA was better at gymnastics, I tend to lean towards them. If China was better at diving, I would then lean towards them. For swimming though... I'm just not a China fan for either men or women. For me, it's been the US all the way every time. I like the Australians for swimming too, but I prefer it if the US win ^_^; Hey, it's my home country after all and they have very talented, fast swimmers~ Though Aussie has some really good swimmers too.
