Winter Olympics

I have never been a huge fan of the Olympics. I would usually only watch the events that had people I knew of in them, like swimming. I know who Michael Phelps is and I know who Amanda Beard is, so I watched them during the summer Olympics. I don’t think I have ever really watched the winter Olympics. This year I decided to watch at least one event of each sport. So far they are more interesting than I thought they would be. Luge is actually pretty entertaining to watch and it seriously gets my heart racing because I fear one of them will crash, especially after the death of that one Luge person.
I also find some of the snowboarding to be really fun to watch. Figure skating can sometimes be enjoyable but it really depends on whose skating. The first day of figure skating the first couple up was a couple from China. They were married and have been extremely successful but they have never won an Olympic medal. I usually root for the USA because that’s where I am from but I was really rooting for these two to get the gold and I believe they did. Some of the stories of these people are so amazing and it makes me feel happy to see them succeed at something they have worked their whole lives towards.
