Some Olympic Thoughts

[kitmerlot_1213]

My favorite Olympic moments—thus far :)

1.  I adore Bob Costas.  He is unbelievably suave and completely cool and I’d marry him if he’d have me:):)

2.   I hope for the next Olympics,  NBC remembers the Jordyn Wieber debacle and that they stop choosing one athlete to overhype because when the person fails and doesn’t deliver, they won’t be floundering around, completely unprepared because all of their stories are focused on one girl.

3.  I love that Aly Raisman came along and quietly kicked gymnastic ass and took home three medals, two in the event finals.  Personally I think she should have gotten the bronze in the All Around Competition, but Russia’s Aliya Mustafina was rather awesome too, so it’s all good.  And in your face NBC.

4.  I hope that once Russia’s Viktoria Komova goes home, she’s able to relax and realize that the world didn’t end because she and her team didn’t win gold in the team or all around finals.  She was crying like she’d gotten a cancer diagnosis as opposed to winning a silver. 

5.   Did I mention that I adore Bob Costas? :)

I think you might be thinking about McKayla Maroney--she's our American gymnast who was supposed to win gold on the vault in the event finals and then she fell on her second vault. She was very angry and disappointed in herself and her expression reflected that.

But at least she has a good sense of humor. There is a tumblir called "McKayla is not impressed" and it makes fun of her facial expression during the medal ceremony--here is the link: http://mckaylaisnotimpressed.tumblr.com/

And Mckayla retweets the pics she thinks are funny--I think that's pretty cool :)
