Summer Olympics XXIX


Expect a lot of posts with this heading for the next 2 weeks.


So the first set of medals for Women's Sabre Fencing (something like that) was a sweep by US Women. So after the medal ceremony the girls went over to the stands were George H.W. Bush was waiting to greet them. And one of the girls was crying and he pulls a handkerchief out of his pocket and gives it to her. It was just so grandfatherly and normal and it made me giggle. :)
Also, I don't know who did the arrangement of the National Anthem for these games, but I think whoever did it had a bet trying to make as many people cry as possible. It's very...moving.
