I remember the year Nadia Comaneci took the gold in '76 Olympics and then the birth of Nadia's theme on The Young & the Restless, I think that's right. The same year, Dorothy Hamill won the gold medal on the ice. How thrilling! And, her bobbed doo became the crase for young girls. I couldn't wear that style, unfortunately.<br /><br />My family love watching the Olympics and it doesn't matter if it's the winter or summer sports. We love it all! It would be cool to see the Olympics live, but we have only broadcast TV and it would be a frustration to view it on our computer monitor. This past winter Olympics was really enjoyable for us, as we got to watch a lot of it.<br /><br />Come visit <a href="http://cathykennedystories.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">My Blog</a> to learn about what's going on with me and if you're looking for a nice children's book, then be sure to check out mine: <a href="http://cathykennedystories.blogspot.com/p/books.html" rel="nofollow">The Tale of Ole Green Eyes</a>Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469509176316025961.post-29633867307243536862011-01-28T20:47:39.350-05:002011-01-28T20:47:39.350-05:00I've never been a big fan of the Olympics,thou...I've never been a big fan of the Olympics,though I did watch as a child--mainly because we only had 3 channels!

But I do agree with the professional aspect. That and the whole doping issue have really tainted the events.<br /><br />But I love hearing the stories behind the scenes and rooting for the athletes. And I totally agree with you about the poor athletes who work so hard and then don't get to participate because of a boycott. Such a shame.Mocha with Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16387717261200678465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469509176316025961.post-66652751135081635012011-01-28T13:22:23.751-05:002011-01-28T13:22:23.751-05:00Unfortunately things have changed haven't they...Unfortunately things have changed haven't they.
