Hey Friends! Popping in quick to see if anyone is as Olympics OBSESSED as I am?
I watched the coverage last night, tweeted all my reactions, and downloaded three different Olympic apps for my ipad. I simply cannot get enough.
My favorite performance of the night?
The Canadian Pair of Megan Duhamel and Eric Radford. They casually mentioned during the commentary that Eric composed the piece of music they were skating to. I googled it quick to confirm, and found out it was a tribute to one of his old coaches who died of non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. TEARS! Read more here.
Will you be watching the Olympics? Give me some good twitter accounts to follow!
LOVE THE OLYMPICS!! We are “stealing” Peter’s parent’s TV subscription so we can watch online since we don’t have cable. We don’t even get the regular channels so we’re doing whatever we can so we can watch. 🙂
Nice work! check out the NBC Extra app, they have great clips you can watch for free. The Russian Police singing Daft Punks “Get Lucky” for tonight’s opening ceremonies is quite the performance….
I’ve generally liked the summer Olympics more than the winter Olympics, but I do like to watch snowboarding, skiing, and ice skating. So excited it’s finally here!
See, I’m more of a Winter fan, but as I get more into swimming, I kind of wish this was the year for summer so I could see the professionals!
Can’t believe that story about Eric Radford!! WOW…
I know right?!?! I love all the tear jerker stories behind the olympics.
Megan Duhamel is so.very. talented – but, to be honest, i love all the skaters – so much fun to watch 🙂
so sweet to see someone make their own music for a program. I always wanted to have someone make something custom for me when I skated!
I used to skate too! (well only through 6th grade) I’m so picky about music when I’m working out that being able to compose music would be awesome!!
