Please distract me so I don't look up Olympics results before tonight

I don't want to have the outcome spoiled like they were yesterday when I stupidly went to CNN and saw who won.

So... ask me anything! But be gentle, I'm a virgin to "ask me anything" posts. :D

4. I get really nervous before interviews too

So maybe I'm the wrong person, but one thing I always try to remember is to pause before replying to questions in case I misunterstood what he/she was getting at, or to avoid saying something that doesn't sound thoughtful.

Good luck - I sure you'll do well!

5. Yes

I don't want them to do badly or anything, but when people are going to be arrogant and assume that they can't lose, it serves them right.

10. i liked it better when it was just college players!

they seemed to enjoy the experience of playing for their country and it was generally fairer. our college players are better than most countries pro's.

I was so looking forward to cheering for Phelps in the 200 free, but I stupidly looked at CNN, and there it was in the top stories, Thorpe wins 200. Aaahhhhh......

Although I was disappointed Phelps lost, I thought it was a great race and Thorpe did a fabulous job. He is a GOD in Australia, so there was a lot of pressure there for him.

On edit, who do you like for gold in canoeing?

7. Thorpe, Phelps and Van den Hoogenband (sp?) are all so good

I really was looking forward to that race.

Canoeing? Hmmm... That's one sport I haven't been following. Canada?
