Olympic Blog Day 1

It is 10:00 am on the first Saturday, and I have already watched women's soccer, women's team handball, men's beach volleyball, women's "indoor" volleyball, men's singles badminton, and dressage. The Olympics are great for all of the sports you never get see.What is this "indoor" for volleyball? Were too many people confused between volleyball and beach volleyball? Maybe I will try to think of a few more ways they can dumb down the coverage.

I noticed there were several countries the size of Palatine that had multiple athletes in these games. Marshall Islands, Cayman Islands, Leichtenstein, Angora, and Tuvalu (only 12k!).

I also noticed the vast number of very attractive athletes in the games, and was inspired to create a "top 11" list for this blog because the Greeks always admired the physical form. Women bloggers can participate also, but despite the numerous options most of the lists will look like this: 1. Michael Phelps 2. Michael Phelps ...you get the picture. Ladies, you may want to check out the Swiss "Beach" volleyball hunk and don't forget that Messieurs Federer and Nadal are participating this year. My list will include a mix of old favorites (will Jenny Finch make the cut this year?) as well as new faces in the crowd...possibly Erika from the Brazilian women's soccer team (they only use one name). There are a lot of games to go, so way too early to cement anyone in the top 11 yet.Got to get back to the tele.... Dave
