Naturally I must cheer on the Canadian teams but if they get knocked out or are not included in a specific sport I'll continue to watch but cheer on everyone equally. <br /><br />I was too young to remember the summer olympics when they were hosted here in Montreal but I'm still helping to pay off the white elephant which is the olympic stadium! ugh!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17043698950016769053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-30533098822558643072011-01-28T21:08:39.479-06:002011-01-28T21:08:39.479-06:00Loved the Olympics growing up.

I could have written your post... we are so much alike as far as the Olympic events we like. You did a much better job writing yours than I did though.<br />Thanks again.Debbie Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03164548520559233996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-87270104469177762232011-01-28T08:09:35.218-06:002011-01-28T08:09:35.218-06:00I love watching the Olympics, both summer and wint...I love watching the Olympics, both summer and winter.

I was so happy with they decided to put them on alternating 2 year rotations instead of every 4 years!! I love every part of them and watch as much as I can.<br /><br />I was fortunate enough to go to the Games in Atlanta, GA. We got there the day after the bomb incident. What I remember most about it is that there were soooo many people there, it was like a bunch of ants. We had a great time!!!sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16558961544260341038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-11098293330431788672011-01-28T06:56:46.849-06:002011-01-28T06:56:46.849-06:00Linda, at first I wasn't so sure about this to...Linda, at first I wasn't so sure about this topic, and what I'd write. It turned out to be one of my favorite posts that I've written for Flashback--and it reminded me of some really good times. Thanks! Be sure to check out Cobbtown, GA's version of the Olympic rings on my post.

More of our children today should spend their time watching the Olympics so that they could appreciate more of the good things in life.<br /><br />We did get to watch most of the boycotted 1980 Summer Olympics as Mrs. Jim, Karen (daughter), and I were doing a two week plus bus tour of Europe.<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-73901541531232154032011-01-28T00:21:32.770-06:002011-01-28T00:21:32.770-06:00Enjoyed this!
