We're lovin' the Olympics here in the Jefferson household! I don't think I remember being as into it during previous years as I am for 2010. I guess it has something to do with it being in my hometown. As my friend Victoria Banks was saying, 'it's interesting to see Vancouver through the eyes of NBC'. Makes me proud! I thought the opening ceremonies were really spectacular too. Loved k.d. lang's version of 'Hallelujah'. That song is sooooo beautiful...wish I could sing it myself...
Paul and I also have fun with the Canadian/American thing...he cheers for USA, I cheer for Canada. One of my favorite events is the downhill skiing. They're going so friggin' FAST! And when they wipe out I can't believe they just get up and walk away! It looks like they should be in 7 different pieces!
I also love the figure skating events. Congratulations to the Virtue/Moir duo for winning the gold in the ice dancing competition. Yahoo Canada!! I was also happy to see Evan Lysacek take the gold in the mens program. I heard that Evgeni Plushenko said in an interview that he thought he should have won the gold because he did the quadruple spin (lutz..sow cow..whatever you call it) but I didn't think the rest of his program was near as graceful as Lsacek’s. To be honest, I was glad to see him knocked down a notch. Great ice skater but a little too cocky for my liking...listen to me! Suddenly I'm a figure skating expert! Ha!
GO CANADA!!
