just got back from Athens where my sister and her two daughters and I went to the season opener of the uga women’s gymnastic team. It was a lot of fun.
While I enjoy spectating in general, and I can follow gymnastics pretty well (they fall down bad, they ’stick the landing’ good) I could definitely tell a difference between my own commentary and what I would have heard if I’d been watching it on TV. You know like the music in a scary movie. Or any movie really; happy music happy stuff, impending doom music impending doom stuff.
So the thing is I didn’t know when to pay attention or the back history of each athlete or the move they couldn’t do until now. I missed that stuff. But it was still fun. Plus it was a big breast cancer awareness fundraiser thing so there was pink pink pink pink pink. What more could a 5 and 2 girl ask for?
I was also SHOCKED and how young everybody looked. Not the 5 and 2 year olds but all the college kids. I know that 12 year olds can’t go to college but damn that’s what they looked like. I wonder what the person who saw me when I was in college and thought I looked twelve is doing now? They’d be……almost 40. Awesome.
