Swimming

esprit15d by esprit15dOG 2003 · Aug 19, 2004 · 151 views · ·

I love watching swimming, (although my life doesn't allow me to watch much) and living and growing up in a place where water is very big, of course I love it even more. But, wow, this Olympics has been of the best in memory for sheer drama value and excitement. I mean, the 800 men's relay was sheer entertainment. Phelps to come in with such a strong lead that only was increased by Lochte and Vanderkaay and then for Thorpe to blow it in the first 50 meters of the final lap. Klete Keller had to literally outswim Thorpe. Very incredible!

I can't wait for the 400 meter relay Saturday.

I agree it is amazing but I don't know I just can't sit and watch it.

Yeah, those are usually the only two summer events I watch.

Those swimmers are amazing when they're underwater. Its almost beautiful..like mermaids.

Those little gymnist girls are nuts though. I can't even walk on a balance beam and they're flippin all over it.
