a favorite moment from the Games

what's not to like about the olympics!?!? so i just found out that the Chinese spent about 33 million dollars alone on just the opening ceremonies. holy buckets. my jaw is dropping to the floor. anyway, our favorite moment so far is probably the men's 4x100 freestyle relay. i'm guessing that in every living room across america there were other people, just like us, who got chills in our spines and were yelling in excitement when the men had the swim of the century!!!!

smashing the world record

Curt pointing out how USA's anchor is swimming smart by hugging the lane

riding the wave of the frenchmen

a group hug

winning by a touch

his reactions are worth a Gold medal

Curt knew immediately after the results that this would go down as one of the most spectacular relay finishes ever!!!! And yes, we've watched the finish over and over and over. Thank goodness for our tivo!

That WAS a great race, wasn't it? We were on the edge of our seats, too! I think the french team's trash-talking really inspired them!

It's so hard for us to go to bed at night, there's always "one more" big event to stay awake for!!

We love the Tivo too! I'm currently watching Project Runway and zooming through commercials. How great is that?!

I'm sad to admit that I've only watched one bit of the Olympics so far!! We have had something going on every night since the Olympics started!!!!! Boo.
