Love snowboarding--scary crash with the girl whose helmet broke, and then a guy crashed similarly. I was really disappointed in the way people spoke about Shaun White after his event. It isn't a cliche to say that guy has been the face of snowboarding.

I remember watching Torvill and Dean skate for gold and got just as emotional watching Meryl Davis and Charlie White's gold ice dance. Truly amazing. Ohno's was another story I loved following. I too watch for the stories and not just for the sport. I find them so inspiring and I love seeing how supportive the athletes' families Rula Sinarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703015110251843280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-48826383537854357552014-02-25T09:39:10.876-08:002014-02-25T09:39:10.876-08:00Yes, that was an Olympics to remember!

It was just as uncomfortable to watch now as it was back 20 years ago. I did enjoy Bode Miller's storyline after years of him being a bad boy, he's apparently found the right woman.

But even though this year he only got a bronze, the fact he skied after his younger bother's death and his own tough custody battle I think does speak to the strength it takes to compete.

I was too young to remember it, but my aunt worked and met many of the USA hockey team. I've watched movies and documentaries and it's truly amazing how these young men pulled off a gold medal while in their own country!<br />Karen Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03621736343432643472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-76886466010197144842014-02-25T07:56:02.932-08:002014-02-25T07:56:02.932-08:00Hi Dana!

Alas, I didn't watch the Olympics this time around--for various reasons, but I will say hearing the Americans FINALLY won the ice dancing competition did my heart good. I still remember back when Torvill and Dean won for the UK back in the day...gave me chills and I couldn't wait for the Americans to win one day. And now they have! :) Nice post!Anna J Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17147693615384740106noreply@blogger.com
