the women of the Winter Olympics are amazing...
In all the events I have watched the women are the funnest to watch. By far. Even stuff like the halfpipe snowboarding etc. Skiing. Just all the events. And, they show so much happiness when they win. Men often try to be a little more serious and reserved. These women get big smiles and hug all there friends etc. It puts me in a good mood to see people happy like that. Gosh, and there are so many beautiful graceful women too. Figure skaters are unbelievable. That's a helluva sport. I think my favorite winner so far has been the Dutch skater who won the 1000, Marianne Timmer. When she smiled it looked like the world lying in surrender. I love sports, the competition, the tension and the great performances. Heaven!

Here's Marianne.

1. I agree. I'm actually in awe of all the athletes, but the women,
well, they do seem less reserved than the men overall.

2. I doubt I could
even stand on skates, lol. I was watching the women in the Ice Dancing and most of them were much stronger skaters than the men. I was just floored. Plus a man can't compare to the beauty, grace and lines of a woman in an event like that. I don't care what anybody says. :)
