Here Come The Olympics!

by Rachelle Thomas

The wait is over! Tonight the Beijing Summer Olympics officially kick off and you can catch it all on NBC. Opening ceremonies begin at 7:30 PM EST. Every four years the world gathers to watch the greatest athletes come together to see who will win the gold. Events range anywhere from archery, to swimming, to gymnastics. NBC will be airing various events through out the two-weeks, including the open and closing ceremonies. Go to www.nbc.com for a complete schedule of the Olympics. If you have been watching any of the trials then you know that the USA has some outstanding athletes hoping to bring the gold back home. Some of the athletes include swimmers Michael Phelps and Dara Torres and gymnast Shawn Johnson. Although I am rooting for all the athletes of Team USA, I am keeping my fingers crossed that Shawn Johnson gets the gold. She is an Iowa girl after all.
I realize that the Olympics aren’t your typical Reality TV show, but let’s be serious here; the Olympics are the original Reality TV competition. The Olympics are such a pivotal even that I could not let today go by without writing about them. Personally I love the Olympics. When else does the world essentially come together. It’s like for two weeks the world really becomes one. Granted I am like anyone else and I don’t like to watch all the events but I do watch it. My favorite events are swimming, soccer and gymnastics.
Best of luck to all the athletes competing in the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics
