Beijing Winter Olympics 2022

It's sad that winter Olympics didn't get as much love and attention from the public as the summer Olympics.

I thought the opening ceremony was for the host nation to showcase its culture and history.  I guess that was only for summer Olympics.  At this opening ceremony, I heard Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and Beetles.  And the torch stand was disappointing.  One giant snowflake with a small torch with a tiny fire?  I thought the whole thing would blow up to create a spectacle.  What if a strong wind blew by and the fire died?

I couldn't find any winter Olympics souvenirs in Japan.  For 2021 summer Olympics, I didn't even need to search.  They were right in front of my eyes everywhere.  Support all the athletes equally!  They worked so hard to be at the Olympics.  Some of them had to wear helmets to the competition because they were too dangerous (moguls, snowboards, luge, skeleton, etc.).  Pay a little attention to their sacrifice!

Tokyo Olympics 2020, Men's 10M diving

Still savoring this competition.  A lot of people have seen the adorable Tom Daly crocheting by the pool side, but I'm talking about the competitors that knew they were definitely not going to win.  The Americans, the Australians, the Brazilians, etc.  They just sat around the hot tub, chilling.  What a yummy sight!

Mr. Tom Daly got bronze!

The gold medalist and the silver medalist were both from China.  The silver medalist did not look happy.  He wore a pissed-off expression as soon as he knew he was getting silver.

What happens when a country sends multiple athletes to the same event?  How does jealousy work?  It is a dangerous thing.

Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Fashion

I noticed a lot of athletes wore mismatched socks and mismatched-color shoes.  That should totally be a fashion.  Why don't we do more of this?

Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Medal Ceremony

I've never noticed this until this Olympics when I watched Men's Judo medal ceremony.

For almost six minutes the men tried to push, throw, and sit on each other.  They bled and sweated.  They couldn't breathe.  They looked like they were about to pass out.

Half an hour later, when they walked out for the medal ceremony, they were already cleaned up.  I mean, not just showers.  The faces were free of blood and sweat; the hair completely dry and styled, they were not panting anymore.  How was that possible?  They just fought to death!

Not just men's judo.  Women's weightlifting was the same.  Their faces were all puffy and red during the competition.  Soon afterwards they were all breathing normally for the medal ceremony.

So romance trashy novels were correct.  People could be almost dead in this chapter and the next chapter they were alive and kicking and ready to go.  I've always thought that was ridiculous.  I was wrong.  I apologize to all trashy romance novels that I dissed before.

Tokyo 2020 Olympics competitions

I watched so much muscled-men compete with each other that I got a headache 😜

Here's what to watch:

🛶 Canoe - What a surprise find.  I thought it was just a person sitting in a boat floating down the river.  No~ it was a person sitting in a canoe going through rapids while in an obstacle course.  Look at the men's arms!  The Spanish competitor even looked liked Henry Caville 😍

🤺 Fencing - as stated in the pervious post, fencers are supermodels!

🏐 Beach Volleyball - What's not to like, handsome men and beautiful women jumping around in skimpy outfits.  They have no belly fats when they sit down!  The competition even had a DJ playing music in the background.  At one point the DJ played I'm Sexy and I know It 😂

🏉 Rugby - I've never watched a rugby match even though my alma mater has a pretty good team.  So much muscled men running around beating each other up, bleeding.  I was mesmerized.  They also played hard music in the background for some reason.

🏊 Swimming - I watch swimming at every Olympics.  Look at the men's arms rising out of surface and then crashing down, splashing water everywhere.  The sun glistened on the flexed biceps 🤤

Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Men's Fencing, Saber, Final

It was Hungary vs. Italy.  The competitors walked out on stage with the music of Imperial March from Star Wars.  I laughed so hard that my belly hurt.  Why Imperial March for fencing?  Was it the lightsaber thing?

Then the final competition began.  It was no competition at all.  The referee said go; Hungary immediately slashed Italy for one point.  The referee said go again; Hungary immediately poked Italy for another point.  Every time the referee said go, Hungary got another point.  It was obvious Hungary was skills way above Italy. 🤺🤺🤺

I got to thinking.  This was for the gold.  If Hungary was this good, what happened to the previous rounds?  Did Hungary kill them all?

Oh My God! 😲 Was that why the Imperial March was playing?  Because Darth Vader was coming!!!

When Hungary won and he took off his helmet, I was stunned.  A sculpted face with deep-set eyes and mesmerizing smile.  He exuded confidence because he knew he was the best.  The man was so handsome he could've been a model.  I bet he has clothing line and/or shoe line in Hungary for sale.  I wouldn't mind supporting whatever he's selling 😀

29 July 2021 Update:  I watched women's team epee final.  As the competitors walked out, Imperial March still played in the background.  So they have decided Imperial March is the official music for fencing matches??!!  By the way, one of Estonia women's fencing team members looked like a supermodel, and she looked really mean, too.  I hope she got a movie deal!
