DUM-dum-DA-dum-dum-dum-DAdumdum-Dum-dadum-dadadadaDum! That my friends is the theme song of the Olympics (which is actually two songs combined). I am an fervent (I've been wanting to use that word since Darcy used in
Pride and Prejudice) fan of the Olympics and have been driving my poor Hubbin and anybody else unfortunate enough to get stuck within earshot of me with schedules and plans and interesting tidbits. This year with the Internets and such I can literally watch every round of every event! I've already been watching podium training for Gymnastics. My favorite sport to watch is Gymnastics both men's and women's I follow them through out the year so I am all prepped. I also really like diving and the shorter races too. Here are some great books to get you in the Olympic Spirit

A look at the weirder side of the Olympics
Ancient Greek Olympic history...plus I really wanted to put naked in a post
