The Olympics are happening! I'm so excited for my teammates in Beijing right now. Kelci and Ariel competed yesterday (or... I mean.. I guess, technically, it's called today. The International Date Line always weirds me out a little). They did great! The team was fourth, just missing a medal. I'm proud of them. They're seventeen and eighteen, this is their first Olympics, and they competed like calm, steady, seasoned pros. I'd say "Better luck in four years... they'll really be ready to win then!" but they're my competition, so I won't go overboard with the compliments :)
Next up... Men's synchronize 10 meter, Tomorrow (Today? Yesterday? August 11, whenever that is.) at 2:30PM, chinatime. I have a feeling that Thomas and David are going to do really well. Each of them is a spectacular individual diver, and they've been training together almost since they started, so they're very good at the synchro part of it as well. They won this event at the 2007 Pan-Am games (which included athletes from North, South, and Central America) and they've earned bronze medals at several major world competitions.
Go team!
