Just about overdosed on the Olympics, but...

Sapientia et Doctrina Stabilitas
My wife had her must watch Olympic events. She must think she is in her late teens still because she insisted on watching skate boarding, bmx racing, and breaking in addition to everything I wanted to watch.

I must say, they most entertaining events by far were the women and men's breaking competitions.

Compared to a turkish assassin shooting air pistol one handed with his off hand tucked in his pants pocket, there really is no comparison when it comes to who is really cooler.

I don't even know what that is. You got a video?

We didn't watch any olympics at all. Wife likes the winter games. I like the Peace and quiet when she watches them.

Here is the first round effort in the gold medal final by Japan's Ami. I didn't post a man's competition because they move too fast for old eyes to see

Ahhh i see! Break Dancing!

That ain't dancing. That's more like gymnastics. What ever happened to waltzing, polka, rhumba? Heck, I'll even throw square dancing into the mix.

That stuff is more like some kind of drug induced alien body takeover.

Thanks for not hurting my eyes.

Oh yeah there is a lot of gymnastics floor routine stuff in breaking...
But Canada did take gold in the men’s.
