How Do They Do That?

Is anyone else enjoying the Olympics as much as I am?

How do they do that? Have you ever tried to stretch like that while on a thin blade...and on ice?



And what about ski jumping. Are you kidding me? It is hard enough to ski down the slopes but these guys are flying through the air and doing triple flips and twists with six foot sticks strapped to their feet.

And they all make it look so easy!

As much as I am enjoying these sports, I'll be glad when they're over...it's ruining my sleep.

Oh I hear you! How do they do any of it! Those athletes are amazing. I can't stop watching. Watching right now. And I too will maybe be glad when it's over. A little sad, but mainly glad because I might go to bed a little earlier too!

Ps- yes I am going to share where I took those pictures at. Stay tuned! You might know the place. :)

They're on way too late. But it is amazing. IT makes me jealous every time I watch. I wish I could do that.

Somehow we haven't watched much of the olympics this year. We were out of town for the opening ceremonies and forgot to TIVO it, so that set us up forget about the whole competition, I guess. I read the highlights on the news, and wish I had watched it.
btw Didn't you do some of those moves when you went ice skating out on the pond in Winslow?

I'm really enjoying the Olympics too. But I totally agree that they are ruining my sleep habits. As soon as they are over, I'm back to going to bed at a decent time so I don't sleep until 9 a.m. everyday...this is really ridiculous and I'm glad this only happens every two years. These athletes are so amazing, they are just made from a different cloth.

DITTO. Brett and I have tivoed all of them and our tivo is full, but we can never seem to catch up. We're still on Thurs., Feb. 18 and getting little sleep. I refuse to miss any of them because I LOVE the olympics!
