2014 Winter Olympics

Are you enjoying the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi as much as me?
Figure skating is my favorite winter Olympics sport.
Ice Dancing is my favorite discipline within figure skating.
 
Congratulations to Meryl Davis and Charlie White!

After ice dancing, I've closely followed men's figure skating.
Congratulations Yuzuru Hanyu!

I'm glad these events occurred over the long holiday weekend.
I was able to watch them live.
Otherwise, I'd have to stay up until 10-11pm and see only the top 5 or 6 skaters.
 
The Olympics go by so fast.
Closing ceremonies are less than a week away.
 
The Olympics are very inspiring to me.
Even though I don't do any of these sports myself,
the athletes inspire me to be my best.

Wishing you a golden week...
Carmen

  2. Sara, you're right! Meryl does look like Kate Bush. I also think she looks like the Gene Marshall fashion doll. Meryl and Charlie are so inspiring!

    Thanks for stopping by... :-)
