I don’t watch much television but I really enjoy the Olympics! Okay, yeah…enough with the beach volleyball. It’s good but come on. And yes, some of the up close and personal features are way overboard, but the competitions themselves are facinating and often inspiring . I joined the local YMCA after the 2004 Olympics because I got so intrigued with the swimming events, and while Michael Phelps probably wouldn’t be impressed, I can do “the turn” and trust me, it’s cool.
Work and TV schedules often interfere with my Olympic intake so I turn to the blogosphere for help.
Some BlogBurst bloggers have provided some amazing coverage:
Fourth-Place Medal, Yahoo! Sports Olympics blog
I also found an article listing some of the olympic athlete’s blogs. Anybody know of any others?
Basil & Spice has provided Olympic coverage, including a personal interview with Ronda Rousey–first ever U.S. women’s Olympic medal winner in judo, a nutritionist’s view of Michael Phelps’s diet, and a blog about what’s behind Darra Torres’s ability to continue swimming into her 40’s. Just today, we featured Debbie Phelps, Michael’s mom in a blog about single mothers and parenting today.
Glad you enjoyed our blog!
