HOCKEY GOLD BITCHES.
That is all.
...
Well, not really.
I don't think I've ever watched the Olympics as much as I did for this year's Winter Olympics. Every single hour of the day, I was just tuned in the TV, or refreshing twitter or vancouver2010 on my iPhone to check the results of the events.
I love winter sports, and I already watch quite a bit of winter sports during previous Olympics, but this year is really the first year that I got really invested in a lot of those sports.
For example, I used to follow figure skating a lot, but not ice dancing. This year though... I was just glued to the ice dancing competitions and fell in love with Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue. They became my 2010 version of 2002's Jamie Sale and David Pelletier. They were just enchanting.
I don't also often watch the sliding events (luge, bobsleigh, skeleton), usually just tuning in here and there, but this year I actually watched most of the televised runs, switching back and forth between channels if it coincides with another event.
After these two weeks, I just feel so drained. XD I feel like I poured out a lot of my emotion cheering on the athletes, going out in the streets of downtown Vancouver and going bananas with the rest of Canada... it drained a lot of energy from me. And it's good. It feels good to be tired this way because it's the good type of... tiredness.
Then there was the hockey game this afternoon. That was just a dead even game.
After 3 periods, shots on goal were dead even, 32 shots for both sides. The score? Also dead even. 2-2.
It had to go into overtime, but Sidney Crosby, a player who just seemed to have disappeared on the scoresheet in the past couple of games, won it for Canada.
That was just the most exciting game of hockey I have ever seen in my entire life. To think it's a gold medal game? It's just one to remember for the ages.
