i am sick of all this frickin swimming. i mean - congratulations, athletes, you can swim fast. but seriously how many different races can they put together for ONE SPORT. there are 4 different strokes (ha, i just thought of that show) and one all-4-combo, but within each stroke there are like all these different lengths and stuff. it's SWIMMING.
i'm sick of michael phelps too (gasp). yea. i'm sure he's a really nice guy and all, but him being "the most decorated olympian in history"? please. he does ONE sport. this implies that he is like a superhero who does like 4 sports. just because you do the same thing like in 34 different ways doesn't really distinguish him among other olympians. Misty May and Kerri Walsh DOMINATE sand volleyball, but they will only get 1 gold medal per olympic year they compete (to phelps' 6+ per year for swimming). they won't get gold medals for "best dig" or "best block". softball players don't even get to count their olympic golds anymore because they dominate too much. now i commend michael phelps for his incredible achievements in his sport (singular). but i think that he should be referred to as "the most decorated SWIMMER in olympic history". because that's what he is. you think those badminton players are any less successful as him in one olympic season if they just win one gold medal? NO. they are both specialists in one sport.
plus...i only like when the do those underwater views of the swimming races. they look cooler. on the surface it's harder to see stuff cause the splashes.
i think i'd rather sit through Mama Mia! again than have to see another freaking swimming race.
ok i take that back. swimming wins. but i won't like it.
more commentary on the 2008 olympic games coming up soon.
