the olympics

[txfirefighter]

so yeah they have started and im pretty excited..


competitions of choice? Swimming, Track and Field, Gymnastics and Weight lifting

Gymnastics and equestrian are my favourites.

Swimming is an aussie dominant sport and so I don't have much interest in it for some reason. I mean, we already won gold today in some womens relay.

I really don't care for watching sports. But I like the whole process and idea of the olympics, we can all get along.


Did you know, the brain takes about 300ms (miliseconds) to process light from the eyes into a visual representation in are mind. This means that in some sports things happen before there even seen. For example; A person spikes a vollyball, In reality the other player has already returned the ball, but everyone is only still see-ing the ball getting spiked.
Cool (IMO) things like that are why I might watch some of the highlights.
