I am Feeling Very Olympic Today
I am Feeling Very Olympic Today
(Say that with a Jamaican accent and it will sound heaps better. Anyone remember the Jamaican Bobsled Team?)
I love the Olympics and I love being Australian. It is obvious that my favorite sport is Football, but I do have passion for the Worlds Biggest Sports Carnival.
I could not care less if they are jumping of a plank, swimming in a pool, riding a horse or have pegs on their noses. I will watch as many hours as I can over the next 2 weeks and support every Australian that is wearing the Green and Gold.
It must be the coolest thing to represent your country in anything. But to be part of the Australian Olympic Team must be the ultimate in my view. Our elite Aussie athletes will be part of a 433 strong contingent. What an awesome time they will have in the athletes village, competing and watching fellow athletes compete.
I have done 1 World Cup as a fan and will do many more before my time is up. However I do want to attend the Worlds Biggest Sports Carnival at some stage, to watch the Olyroos and Matilda’s do battle. My memories of Germany 2006 are still fresh in my mind where I had the best time of my life, and I only watched.
The 400+ athletes have already done me proud, the next 2 weeks is just icing on the cake.
I Am, You Are, We Are Australian
