I am really enjoying the bit of Olympics that I've been able to see and I'm very proud of our athletes who have been competing for us. I was quite perturbed when alot of people, a very large amount, were saying how sad it was that we hadn't gotten any medals yet. I like medals just as much as the next person for our country but I guess I've never been a person to in sports say you have to win everything. I'm not a hugely competative person and I think its just as good if the person gives 100% in what they're doing as if they win the event. During this "drought" of medals last week, our swimmers set like 15 national records but didn't get any medals. They did a great job over in Beijing and they will do great things in the future. Guarenteed if an athlete screwed up they are beating themselves up for it more then we ever could so why don't we just let them know that we're behind then 100%? I pray safety for all of our athletes and citizens who are over in China right now and that they would succeed in doing their best...and if that ends up being a medal then so be it.
