I've been thinking about doing a sports blog to compliment the entertainmnet blog for awhile and I figured with the 2008 Summer Olympics kicking of today now was as good a time as any.
Hopefully I won't be so overwhelmed with all the coverage that I forget to come blog about them. There's a lot of great stories already. As a big swimming fan I am very much anticipating Dara Torres taking to the pool in this first week of competition. Also looking forward to the gymnastics competition both mens and womens. Although the mens competition has taken on a whole new dynamic in the last week with both Paul and Morgan Hamm withdrawing because of injuries. While disappointing it is good to see them both do what was best for the team. They are competitors and have probably competed with some level of pain their entire careers. And they probably could have been selfish and stayed in the competition knowing they wouldn't be at their best. However, they chose to hand the torch (no pun intended) down to others allowing them to live their Olympic dream.
I follow several different sports and hope to be able to keep up with the ones that are Olympic sports as well as those that aren't over the next two weeks and into the future. Some of those sports are tennis, football, hockey, indy car racing, baseball (depending on my mood), and other random things.
