If nothing else, it is a great excuse for watching a lot of Olympic replays (daytime Paris is nighttime here).
I've been enjoying watching the surfing and windsurfing,
And swimming and gymnastics.
Chateau de Versailles is a beautiful setting for the equestrian events.
I thought the equestrian cross-country was spectacular. My favourite part was the Stag Jump, which looked so pretty set among the trees.
There has been rowing, canoe slalom, a spot of tennis, and lots of cycling.
And I really loved watching the women's mountain bike session.
I've always only ever been a couch-potato sports person, but that doesn't stop me appreciating how much work and effort all these athletes put into their chosen sports.
It is a joy to watch them.

Hope your back feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you had injured your back Margaret - not nice at all! Praying for a rapid and full recovery
ReplyDeleteI have seen a few minutes of the Olympics, but I am not a great fan of them these days - I did end up watching some of the canoe slalom - that was incredible

Sounds as though you get wider coverage than us. We did watch the rowing yesterday. Kiwis are doing well and we have a Greek out front as well
ReplyDeleteWith so many different sports, it's an entertaining time.
ReplyDeleteI injured and tore the right thigh muscle. Nursing injury at home watching Vikings lol
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has been watching a lot.. I really really love gymnastics but have not watched much.
ReplyDeleteNot much worse than a bad back. Sure hope you get some relief.
ReplyDeleteOh Margaret, take care of yourself...take it slow until you're feeling better. And if you have to be resting now, what a great variety of Olympics to enjoy - so much better than the boring every day stuff! Take care, feet up, cat on your lap, fire crackling.
ReplyDeleteWe watched the horse cross country as well, that has been our favorite so far!
ReplyDeleteI always think of the parents too and their commitment over the years, taking kids to practice, tournaments and meets. Hard work all around!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I can watch and enjoy all the sports without having to join in!!
ReplyDeleteoh no poor you, about the only back issue I have going on is my sciatic which twinges once in a while, hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope your back feels better soon. Meanwhile keep watching the Olympics.
ReplyDeleteOh bad backs are the worst. I have chronic back pain and somedays just walking is a chore.
ReplyDeleteI hope your feeling better soon
