Olympic Fever

I absolutely LOVE the Olympics.  I can't get enough of them!  I think it is one of the greatest things that we have the opportunity to have such a large scale international competition.  It is amazing. 

Among the Olympics, my favorites are Gymnastics, Swimming, Diving, and Volleyball.  I love these games for moments like this:

- McKayla Maroney's Vault - arguably the best in Olympic History
Watch it HERE

-U.S.  Women's volleyball match with China.  Head to head they kept scoring point after point.  they would tie, one team would take the lead only to come back to a tie in the next point.  It was incredible to watch.

Not to mention already headlined Team Gold in Gymnastics and Michael Phelps as the most decorated Olympian of all time.  Even more impressive may be the many new athletes who have made a debut this year and won gold, especially the U.S. Women's Swimming team and Chad Guy Bertrand le Clos.

Also, do I need to mention that this opening ceremony had J.K. Rowling and Voldemort?  Along with Marry Poppins, Mr. Bean and James bond along with a stunt double Queen.  She must have a good sense of humor (even if she doesn't smile).

London is awesome - the city is absolutely beautiful and I have loved this year's games so far.  OLYMPIC FEVER!
