Olympics: My Favourite Part 1

(This post mostly for own memory keeping purposes. And NOT for non Olympic watchers)

Hadn't been blogging much because... OLYMPIC IS HERE.

THE OLYMPICS ARE HERE!!!! (runs around like crazy)

I know not everyone watch Olympics. I have a feeling that the only time that most Malaysians watch Olympics is when our Dato' Lee Chong Wei is playing. But NOT ME! I've been watching Olympics since the opening ceremony. Day and night, night and day watching Olympics.

@.@ Me the Crazy Olympic Watcher. Luckily I'm not fat and a couch potato (soon to be) or else I'll be the new meme Scumbag Fat Girl.

Like most people, I like Olympics because of it's spirit. The ability to unite everyone from the whole world and in a smaller scale, unite Malaysians. Olympics is a time where people scream and cheer together.

What the heck while I was typing that out I feel so fake hahaha. Textbook answer much? I usually scoff when people write those kind of stuff and can't believe I wrote that out T.T

What I like about the Olympics is its HUGE variety of sports. Usually world competitions have only one sport, like World Cup is only for football. But Olympics have EVERYTHING. Athletics, gymnastics, polo, canoe shalom (Bet most people don't know what this is), swimming, water polo, basketball, football etc etc etc. There are even events like BMX cycling, trampoline, things I don't really consider worthy of the Olympics but hey, who am I to say what's a sport and what's not?

And don't bother denying it, people watch the Olympics for its huge amount of hot guys and girls. You want pretty boys? Check out Ryohei Kato.

Look at her... I mean his delicate features =Q Not even girls have such delicate features...

You are a paedophile? Check out the women artistic gymnastic event (Just joking just joking).

Like women with ridiculously thick make up they look like they clowns? Synchronised symming.

I like sports that Malaysian TV don't usually feature so during Olympics I try to watch as many 'exotic' sports as possible.

Other than liking the sports, I am also partial towards certain people in certain sports. And herein begins the list of people that I enjoyed watching for the 1st week of the Olympics.

(Oh and this post is also another example of how ugly passport photos turn out. A mystery of the universe... Why passport photos never turn out nice huh?)

1. Uchimura Kohei

Bleh photo doesn't do him justice here.

Damn he's cute.

Erm I mean damn he's talented *cough cough*

Artistic gymnastic men all around gold medal winner. That is something isn't it? Really enjoyed watching his performances during the all around finals. I've heard other people going crazy over other gymnast like Marcel Nguyen but... Dunno la not my type haha.

2. Team US Artistic Gymnastic (F)

  

Also known as the Fab 5!

Jordyn Wieber, Gabrielle Douglas, McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman and Kyla Ross

(and all younger than me huhu I feel so old)

But they really do live up to their name: Fabulous. Their performances are extraordinary! When they are in the mood that is. 

Gabrielle Douglas (randomly choose her pic out of the five) gave her all for team and all around finals and won gold for both but for her individual events (beam and uneven bars) she failed miserably =S

Still... These five are super duper amazing. Especially their VAULTING. Their VAULTING. Especially Maroney's vaulting. Even the judges stared open mouthedly at her landing (Pictures somewhere in 9gag but can't find it).

Not only they got the Team Finals Gold, Gaby got individual all around gold, Aly Raisman gold in floor and bronze on the balance beam, McKayla silver in vault (seriously unlucky day for her). Go Team US!

(psst: when I have kids I'm so gonna make them learn artistic gymnastic. And make sure they train to a level where they can represent Malaysia in the Olympics muahahahaha. I'm not joking)

3. Larisa Iordache

Another typical passport photo T.T

You can totally feel her charisma here =)

Romanian gymnast.

Totally love her face. So cute. Born in 1996 =Q

Born in 1996, joined the Olympics.

Me? Born in 1991, did nothing in life. Sigh.

4. Lauren Mitchell

Why you look so old here! Like mug shot somemore >.<

Australian gymnast.

My first love in the the 2012 Olympics hahaha.

Too bad she didn't earn any medals. Didn't even qualify for any finals except for floor. But I heard she has some injury so hopefully she recovers in time for future World Championships (which they don't show on Malaysian TV WHYYYYYYYY?) and Rio Olympics.

5. Jessica Ennis

For those who have made it this far (XD) without giving up and still understanding what I'm saying, I guess you'll be pretty relieved that I finally added someone those gymnastic related to my list: The British heptathlete.

Another sleepyhead athlete photo o.O

The main reason I find her really hot: Her 6 packs. HER SIX PACKS. I want them too =O

And another thing, I have a thing for all rounders. Have you noticed it yet? The two artistic gymnastic individual all around gold medalist are in my list and now, the multi-event gold medalist athlete.

More lists to come (But I think at best only one other list because I'm a super lazy blogger)

But first! More events to watch! Half a week of Olympics left to go!
