Winter Olympics 2006 Wrap-Up
Well, March is here, and the Winter Olympics have ended, (sniff…I always get a little teary at the closing ceremonies. I sure wish it didn’t have to come only once every 4 years!). And, yes, it was wonderful and entrancing to watch, but I am a little relieved to have my life back, (as opposed to watching hours full of Olympic broadcasts every day). I’m not going to go into a full review of the whole 2 weeks….but here are my highlights: Bode Miller sure didn’t live up to the hype….mens figure skater Johnny Weir, though he didn’t win a medal, wins my award for most interesting athlete at the games…..I have newfound respect & interest in cross-country (nordic) skiing….and mens speed-skating has no shortage of drama queens! I will leave you with an image, as Roddy Darragon of France shows us that, yes, nordic skiers wear boxer-briefs!
