Olympic Mode















1. Belgium
2. Austria
3. France
4. Canada
5. Iceland - them making the list is strictly political
6. Italy
7. Ireland
8. South Korea
9. Mexico
10. Norway

These were my favourite Olympic Opening Ceremony Outfits. The Norwegians being the coolest and the Mexican monochromes being the most stylish. My first snowboard was exactly that same baby blue colour as the Norwegians are wearing which reminds me how much I would like to go for some slope action right now, been way too long. It´s interesting how many of the outfits, both these above and the ones the athletes wear in the competition, have the snowboard look to them, gone are the tight fitted skiing costumes.
I have been spending my down time the last two weeks watching the Olympics. It is so impressive watching all the fearless supermen and superwomen doing their the stuff. My favourite sport, given the dance sucker I am, being figure skating and also freestyle snowboarding and skiing. It´s just amazing what these people are capable off. My least favourite sport is the ice curling. I get it that it can be fun to play and compete in (not really) but to try to watch it is impossible.
I have no idea how it is to be a supreme athlete (the only thing I come close to be on a world class level in is sale shopping) but I can so feel all their joy and all their pain knowing how much crazy training and sacrifice is behind their participation.
