Anybody going to the olympics??
 

With boaters being the coolest people on the planet, that enjoy doing all the fun things life has to offer, I was wondering if any OSO members will be attending?? I've never been, personally, but it is definitely on my to do list.

I wish we were going. :( Although we did stay at the Canyons last year where all the major action is happening :D Go USA :cool:

I will be going to a Bobsled event. But then I live in the area so it is a bit easier. :D

We went to the summer Olympics in Atlanta; talk about a crowd.

One of the highlights of my life was watching the marithon(sp?). It went out roughly 13 miles, up one block and then back 13 miles. We have friends with friends who had an apartment 2 blocks from the 3rd and 23rd mile mark. We saw the runners at the 3, and these long distance runners were moving faster than I can sprint. It was amazing. Then we walked back for breakfast and then to the 23rd to see them again. The police came up and stopped the cross traffic like it was a parade, a few minutes later the winning runner showed up followed by a couple of others, and then the pack, and then a couple of stragglers. The croud yelled and cheered for all of them. They were still running as fast as they were at the 3. It was amazing. Then they were gone, but the police did not move. So we stuck around. About 10 minutes later (This is the cool part) a lone Olympian runner apears. He is so far behind the others he can't even see them. And the crowd erupts!!! They cheer louder for this guy who's comming in dead last, but won't quit, than they did for the winners. He had the heart of Olympic Gold, even if he did not have the body. I'm tearing up just thinking of it. That's what the Olympics is about.

My hat's off to all the Olympians; they have worked harder and sacraficed more than most of us will ever know.

Yeah, I'm going. I'm going into my living room to watch them on TV. :D

Sean :)

Chart,
Cool story, thats what I was wanting to hear, story's like that will cheer up everyone that reads this :D :) :cool: ;)

I wish we were going. :( My cousin, the one that carried the torch) lives in Park City and runs a resort there where a lot of the Olympians will be staying. Should be really cool!

Was on the road with the Olympic Torch relay (Chevy sponsorship) for a week, that was pretty cool :cool:

I go the the Olympics everynight! :eek: ;) :D :D

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the TRI-athalon!!!

I'd go, but all I carry is American Express! ;)

I like the Winter Olympics over the summer games because it has more high speed events. Cant wait for the skeleton sleds.

We were at Atlanta. What a great time! We were planning on going to the winter games but we went to the winter x games the last 2 years. So we decided to stay home and watch on tv instead! Plus the wife is a little afraid of maybe somthing happening, with these $%#@! terriorists still running around! :mad:

I am sending lots of people...The security is a nightmare for the private aircraft...inspections, customs, credentials for the crews, FBI background checks...arrival and departure slots...what a mess...Thanks but no thanks I will watch from the comfort of my living room...

GO USA!!! :cool: :cool:

GO USA!!! :cool: :cool:
