The only time you’ll see Stephanie Beck sit down
and watch a hockey game is during the winter Olympics. Only time. I don’t like
hockey, cross country skiing, snowboarding...yeah, I just don’t find them
interesting. However, I love the Olympics, and for a magical 16 days every four
years, I rearrange my schedule so I can watch as many events as possible.
More than just the events though, I love the Olympians’
back stories. The struggles and triumphs are amazing and humbling. They make me
happy. A while back I read something about the Olympic village being hook up
central—which totally makes sense to me. After all that pressure, of course
there is going to be some, um, exploding.
My husband rolls his eyes when it comes to the relationships.
He doesn’t see the reason for the relationship statuses and who is hooking up
with whom is shared. I see the reason and while I don’t think it is the most
important thing, I like knowing that at least some of the athletes found
someone with similar goals and schedules and loves to be with. Those qualities
turn what could be a classic one night stand into something much more. And who
doesn’t get all doe eyed when two people who work so very hard achieve (or fall
short) of success and jump into each others’ arms? (Well, my husband is one who
doesn’t, but I get big-eyed enough for both of us).

Like you, Stephanie, I love the Olympics and it is probably the only time I watch any of those sports. I don't dislike the sports, but I just don't watch much TV. My first favorite Olympic hook-up story was the movie 'International Velvet' from when I was a kid and then 'Chariots of Fire' the movie. But from this Olympics, I enjoyed a couple of those come-back stories like the older Russian bobsledder who left the sport b/c of the sports politics and then came back to win gold.
ReplyDeleteYour book sounds good. Thanks for the chance to win a copy.
Thanks for stopping in, Sophia Rose. I am so with you on the older Russians. The bobsledder's story is fantastic and there were others too from Russia that was just striking.
DeleteI'm not a huge fan of the Olympics, but I love the idea behind it of bringing nations together that don't always like one another and want to be in the same room. I'll watch the summer games for the horse events but that's the extent of it. I had no idea of the hook up thing though! But it makes sense, after the pressures of the sport. It's an outlet.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great story y'all (er, y'uns for us Missourians)!
Nice on the y'all and y'uns, Olivia! Silly chick.
DeleteI enjoy gymnastics and swimming, but not obsessively. Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteSummer Olympics catch my attention too. It's so special to watch people do something they love so very well. Thanks for stopping by!
