My current job is " Full time olympic watcher ". Not only the sports Australians are shown on TV 1000 times of the same coverage but also the sports that are held on each single day.
As a Japanese, I am interested in Judo. I open " Keyhole TV" and " Live sports online to enjoy the other sports coverage.
9 hours time difference puts me on a hard task...I set up alarm at 4:20am...
People might say " Why don't you record them and watch them later."
But for me a real time entertainment os essential.
There are several athletes who compete three successive olympics this time.
To achieve gold medals in two olympics is hard but many athletes have done.
But how about three gold medal ? Or even 2 gold medals from first and second olympics and any medals from the third? That means you must commit yourself on a high level for 12years.
Michael Phelps (USA), Kosuke Kitajima(JPN) and Stephanie Rice (AUS) couldn't make it.
Olympic Heros for myself mean not just because of medal achievement but also their personality.
I name Kieren Perkins and Alexander Popov. They both competed at Barcelona(Gold), Atlanta(Gold) and Sydney(Silver) as a swimmer.
But don't miss out this Aussie girl, Leisel Jones ( breaststroke), she is in her 4th olympics at age of 26. Silver(2000), Silver(2004) and Gold(2008).
She is in 100m breaststroke final tonight.
