Well, to bad. Here's mine! Don't worry, it's short because I can't stay focused :)
So, ice skating. This is my favorite event to watch at the winter Olympics. Why? It's like dancing! But sometimes it's hard to watch...
[I should warn you... I'm watching as I'm writing this.]
OH MY WORD SHE LANDED A TRIPLE AXEL!!!!!! Sorry... that was amazing. But see.... ok, this ties into what I was going to say before I witnessed perfection. It's hard to watch this sport sometimes because when they fall... that's pretty much it. And then you can see it on their faces afterwards.
Like I just watched the 15 year old American. She is SO graceful and gets so much height on her jumps!! But she fell once... now she won't get anything. Or the 15 year old Russian, Yulia, who fell yesterday. Everyone expected her to medal, but since she fell...
The gal that hit the Triple Axel earlier? She feel once yesterday and skipped two jumps. Even though she was nearly perfect today, there is no way she can medal.
But this is why they compete. To learn new things. To fall and try again. And to finally win.
Like Yulia. She just fell again. But the next Olympics?
She's going to kick butt.
