1. I totally get into sports that I normally don't care a whit about. Like water polo. And somehow, through watching it....I become an expert. But not really.
2. I will turn it on and just let it run in the background, because it's on TV 28 hours a day. I don't pay attention to all 28 hours, but I love just having it on. This means I'm willing my teams to victory, if in spirit only, right?
3. I am amazed at how flexible men are in gymnastics. And how buff women are in their upper bodies in swimming. Holy. Cow.
4. I root for the USA, but also root for another country at the same time. This Olympics, I've chosen Italy. Viva Italia! (Or something like that.)
5. I'm a sucker for the opening ceremonies and have to watch the whole thing, and am sad when the closing ceremonies roll around. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I just plain love the Olympics.
What do you like about the Olympics?
