A Brief Note on the Olympics

I have no idea why I like the Olympics as much as I do. I get easily distracted from important tasks to research the minutiae to the medal count and event schedules. And as much as I like watching the events, I'm just as content to read Chicago's 2016 bid for the Olympics or to research the founding and dissolution of the Artistic Medals (thank you so very much, Wikipedia).

So, tonight (tomorrow morning Beijing time), we've been watching the male all-around competition. And the American gymnasts. There are two of them in this competition. Alexander Artemev led the two of them, hanging out in the low teens for most of his rotations. However, the cameras rarely focused on him.

Instead, all eyes were on Jonathan Horton.

I don't have a lot to say. Instead, since I'm tired, my thoughts are very bullet-listed:

-Was I the only one (besides the entire room full of people I watched it with) that thought he came off of every aparatus with a boner?
-His right arm looks way bigger than his left arm.
-It looked like no one was talking to him. This may be aforementioned boner or that he looked like he was on the verge of roid rage the entire time.

In addition to Horton's near-craziness, I swear someone has greased this year's Olympic Gymnastics equipment--it seems like everyone is falling. Personally, I think Poland greased the balance beam and Palestine did the pommel horse. Apparently, I was on a P-kick in my groundless accusations tonight.

By the way, Georgia beat Russia in their preliminary beach volleyball match, 2-1, but not before the French burst in to play the game on their behalf.
