Day 132 – Hello Beijing

As if I’m not busy enough between baseball and quarter-end the Olympics are starting. With the time zone difference that means I will actually be able to watch some of the Olympics live. However, that may not be a good thing as it will be at the expense of sleep.

The good thing is I’m not nearly into the Summer Olympics as much as the Winter Olympics. Unlike most people I don’t just turn into amateur sports every 4 yrs, at least when it comes to the winter sports. I actually follow them during their World Cup Seasons every year. There isn’t nearly as much TV Coverage/Online streaming in Canada of summer events so that is a big reason why I am much more into the winter games. Plus it doesn’t hurt that Canada is much more competitive in winter sports. It is so much nicer to actually know all the athletes competing, and I’m not just talking the CDN ones. It is a lot easier to follow the Winter Olympics since I’m not hearing about these people for the 1st time.

The other problem w/the summer games is there are just so many sports and each sport has so many variations. It can be hard to follow all of them.
