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!
Actually they don’t wear boxer briefs but a kind of cyclists shorts. At the moment we in Europe are crazy about the football world championship. Unfortunately nowadays the shorts are rather baggy, but still You can see nice bodies in all sizes and colours.
