are u guys watching/following any of the Winter Olympic games going on right now in Pyeongchang, South Korea?
i don't follow most of these sports on a regular basis, so it's cool to see them at the international summit and competition. i esp. enjoy the figure skating, bobsledding and luge, halfpipe and freestyle.
so far Team USA is in 6th place w/ 12 total medals - 5 gold, 3 silver and 4 bronze. i watched the women's half-pipe ski last night and our American halfpipe/freestyle gold medal champion from 2014 Sochi, Russia Maddie Bowman crashed in all 3 of her runs.Lindsey Vonn is up tonight in women's downhill skiing and so there's a really good chance she gets gold. also watched the men's 2-man bobsled and Canada and Germany tied for gold. crazy! amazing!
games end this Sunday.
Go USA!! let's get some more gold!
Edit:
also i thought this was funny: an American lady named Elizabeth Swaney "scammed" her way into the Olympics. her halfpipe run is hilarious! she didn't make the USA team b/c we're actually good, tried for the Venuzulean team b/c one parent is from there, then made it onto the Hungarian team b/c her grandparent were from there. no tricks, no air. i can do that Lol! the Olympics commission is taking down vids but here's one that's up right now. (if it's down, just google it.)
