I love the Olympics

I am supremely envious of Steph and Gord and Van who get to catch some events and soak in the atmosphere of a Summer Olympic games.

The best part of the Olympics is by far the fact that you get to watch all these sports that otherwise wouldn't be interesting, but are during the Olympics because only the best-of-the-best in the world are present at these competitions.

According to my casual observations, here is a list of things the Chinese gymnastics team have mastered:

- Gymnastics

Here are things they seriously need to work on:

- Giving high-fives

Seriously.

It's like watching Phil Michelson try to dap his caddie. Just so, incredibly awkward.

dude, i totally agree. this is the only time of year i watch sports like fencing and swimming with intensity.

the chinese gymnasts are machines, especially on those rings.

too much fun.

Another thing chinese people cant do is the wave. the brazillians tried like 20 times to get a wave going and even the big screen said "lets do the mexican wave" (not sure why the wave is mexican) but yet they never got the wave to go very far it was dissappointing even in the smaller venues.
