olimpiyada

torino
beijing

i totally love the olympics. my mother and i were able to go to the 2002 one :-). i created a web site of my pix for that, but angelfire changed hands, and so the web site went bye bye. :-( i was really sad.

one of the best parts about the olympics, aside from the athletes and the souveniers and the venues and the games are the mascots. hehe - are the latest ones:


gliz, neve e aster, torino! :-D








cross country skiing - we actually got to see this game! look at that ubrrr cool logo... the italians just know style. *sigh!*


biathlon - this one, as well. the tension during the shooting part totally shot up from my palms to my shoulders to my head and back again! by the third athlete, i couldn't take it anymore, and ran back to my mother's side and watched as skiiers huffed up an incline to get to the shooting range. whew! but totally fun! :-D


mascots of the beijing games. totally CUTE! :-D


totally a sport that would challenge me no end. but, hmm... it might actually be good for me coz i like biking, running and swimming would cure me of my asthma once and for all! :-D


ahahahaha... now who wouldn't wanna bounce around when permitted?!


i can't swim, but i think it would be great to try something tamer - rowing! ;-D


purty cool! i grew up wanting a mountain bike, because i heard it's one of the sturdiest bikes around. i think i got me a tamer type of bike, ahaha, but still useable. at my old university there was a mountain biking team, and i'm sure they made it some olympic-caliber events!


and can we do without the coolest sport on the planet? hehehe!
