The "La-la-lympics", that's what my kids used to call the Olympics when they couldn't pronounce the word. Funny even though they're in their mid-twenties we still call them that.
So, with the La-la-lympics now being on television there are occasions when this allows me some extra hobby time in the evenings. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching the Olympics, just not so much the ice-skating events. My wife and daughters, however, are glued to the TV for those events. That's when I politely leave the room and head to the "library" to either build a scale model or work on my card collection, and now, the new blog.
I'm an athlete at heart, so I enjoy watching most sporting events, and as far as the Olympics go, I would lean more towards favoring the Summer Games. I used to be a runner and track-and-field was my thing in high school, hurdles in particular, so I'm more familiar with those athletes and events. Besides, Summer means Team USA Baseball which will be back in the 2028 Summer Games!
For these Winter Games, I enjoy watching the Alpine and sledding events, and of course hockey. Another good reason the Olympics are on now is because my wife and I were running out of British detective shows to watch, but that's a whole other story.
These cards all came in a TCDB trade with EBshark1955
Do you have a favorite Olympic sport that you like to watch?
