Olympics
Well the Olympics are over for the swimmers. It was an incredible meet and I think it has changed most people’s ideas of what fast means. There was so much fast swimming in so many events it was definitely an unprecedented event. I’m really intrigued to find out how times in the next year or two will compare to these Olympics. I know that I have new expectations of my own after seeing what others are capable of. There usually is a little bit of a slump the year after the games for most people though. People put so much work into that meet that it can take some time to get back into the swing of things and most people will take a nice long break. I’m already nearing the tail end of my nice long break and thinking about how fast I can be in the future.
I have still been enjoying watching the Olympics post swimming. I really got excited for the American women’s beach volleyball team of May-Treanor and Walsh. They were really the class of the Olympics and were the first team to ever win two Olympic gold medals in a row. I watched most of their matches and cheered the whole way. What a dominating performance.
