I love the Olympics! When I watch the young (and some not so young) competing, and think about the hours of practice they have put in and the sacrifices they and their families have made - well, it is just inspiring! "Regular" tv will always have reruns. There are no reruns for the Olympics. It is a time to watch and feel pride in our nation and our young people. I am glad the Winter and Summer Olympics are 2 years apart. That way I know I have some quality sports events to watch every 2 years. My 9 year old great niece watched a lot of the coverage with me. At one point she turned to me and said that even when they fell (gymnastics) or didn't do a perfect dive, they didn't give up and kept on trying. For that lesson alone, every minute of the Olympics was priceless!
