Journal #43 - Best moment in 2010 Olympics

I did not watch too much of the Olympics this year, but one sport that I like to watch during this time of the year would be curling. I know that this sport may seem somewhat boring and that it may not take very much athletic ability to complete. But this sport produces champions just like any other sport in this world. I watch the women from Sweden win a gold medal this year. I think that this is an important time for Swedish people, such as my friend Ivar. I also wached some skiing , I think it was cakked something like the super G. It was something close to that, anyways I saw a lot of people fall down. I felt bad for all opf tese people because they each had spent all of their lives training for this one occasion and then they just went and fell down. These people do not get a second chance even though they could be the fastest in the world. I think that the biggest story overal was Apollo Ohno winning a record 8 career medals in the winter Olympics. I thought that this was really cool because speed skating is such a tough event. Each competitor fights each other for the inside position in the race, and many of them seem to fall towards the end of the race trying their hardest to win. think it is funny thought that he won one of his medals because the people who were in second and third fell down right in front of the finish line as Apollo sliiped in for his medaling finish. He did not really deserve that medal, but i guess he was good enough to get several others. He is a great athlete and he should be praised for his great efforts in his races during this Olypmics. Apollo should be back in four years to extend his large amount of medals that he has won during the winter Olypmics.
