After two and a half weeks of furious competition in grueling disciplines such as ice shuffleboard, High speed toboggoning, So you Think you Can Dance on ice and downhill ironing board races, we bid farewell to Vancouver 2010 Olympics. That was one week ago. So obviously, there less things to watch on TV now that the games are a thing of the past. One week, I find skiing, curling, snowboarding at four o'clock in the afternoon. Now, it's poker, junior hockey, and more poker. So obviously my choices are somewhat limited. I guess you can say it's back to normal. But it is still a bit of a disappointment knowing I won't be able to see two guys polishing an ice rink while being pursued by a 40 pound granite block until 2014. Then, it will be Sochi's turn to host such sports of great and high honor.
You've probably noticed that I'm not giving the winter sports the respect it deserves. But I can't help but poke a little fun at a sport where the athletes probably train in the summer by working part-time at a car wash. Okay, fine, I'll stop making fun of curling. Despite what you may think, it is actually a fun sport to watch. I can't believe I said that.
But after two weeks of non-stop Alexandre Bilodeau, "I Believe, "Own The Podium", awful french, and technical glitches, the 2010 Olympics will go down in history as either a moment of glory, or something parodied on SNL. Either way, Vancouver wins.
