1. I enjoyed watching that, too.

I don't like the look alot of medal-winners get when they realize they've won--the fist pumped in the air and the angry looking face just doesn't do it for me. This young woman was jumping up and down and dancing. It was so refreshing; I couldn't help but be happy for her.

4. This is what the Olympics should be about

I wish I had seen that - that would bring me joy watching it.

Who was that runner from Jamica that use to compete every Olympics. It was a female runner and she always was in the top 5

6. You should see her hopping and dancing with shear joy

no chest thumping just pure 21 year old happiness
