They are fun to watch and I love the personal stories of how they got to where they are. So many are very inspiring. I loved the Gymnastics, except I get a little tense waiting for something not good to happen. I do love the swimming and diving. They there is the synchronized swimming and it reminded me of the old movies of Esther Williams. I love watching the races too. Then I happened to tune into the horse jumping ones. Tomorrow, I am going to a Equestrian park next to us to watch my granddaughter do some horse jumping. <br />Thanks for your thoughts on this one. <br />Blessings and hugs!

What a nice memory of seeing ...Good Morning Debbie,<br />What a nice memory of seeing the Olympics with your whole family. No, not watching this year. <br />My favorite sport has always been Gymnastics. I did Gymnastics when I was a sweet young thing. <br />So I love seeing it, but not this year. I am tired of Politics! So I haven't turned on my T.V. In a year?? Gosh! <br />I hope you are getting better and better day by day.

Not sure why. I do like watching the gymnastics in the summer and the ice skating/dancing in the winter.

I do like gymnastics and the speed skating for summer games; ice dancing and ice skating for the winter games. There is a certain pageantry to the Olympics that require crowds to be there I do believe to make it "magical". And that is probably what is missing this year with little to no spectators present. <br /><br />How fun you got to have gone to the 1996 games! <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949868613243486755.post-9701921245726117562021-07-26T08:04:41.004-04:002021-07-26T08:04:41.004-04:00Great memory!
