Summer Olympics

I have always loved watching the challenge involved for the participants of the Olympics. The opening ceremony was phenomenal, but after Mr. Bachman's stabbing in Beijing, China, my joy for the participants turned to fear for them instead. I am happy and proud of Michael Phelp's new world records. His success turned out to be the highlight of this Olympics. I was so interested that I even looked up Mark Spitz' records from 1972 to compare the two of them. His records held for 36 years.

I also enjoyed watching the sprinters on the track - some of them literally just flew! Many new world records were set. In our obese society, it's wonderful to watch such fit athletes challenging themselves.
