Olympic junkie

Most of you probably don't know this about me, but I am an Olympic "junkie." I can't get enough of the Olympics-Winter or Summer. I'm as bad during the Olympics as my brother-in-law is during March Madness. I usually don't get a chance to watch the Olympic trials, but this year I think I have been able to watch most of them. They are almost as exciting as the Olympics themselves. I can't believe how many national and world records have been set throughout these trials. It was so fun last night watching swimmer Katie Hoff take back her title as world record holder in the 400M freestyle and set a new world record in the process. The second place finisher in the same race also beat the world record. The swimming trials were amazing, for some reason that water in Nebraska combined with the new NASA designed swimsuits is enabling records to be broken all over the place.

One of my favorite events in the Olympics is beach volleyball. Can you get any better than Misty May and Kerri Walsh. This may be their last year together in the Olympics, so they are definitely worth watching.

Two of the best


You can watch the trials online, since all of them are not broadcast on TV. Follow this link to watch the Olympic trials online. Go USA!!
