I am as happy as a kid in a candy store! Man, I was screaming my head off while watching this race. I am just so so SO happy and PROUD of Apolo..this is much deserved! All those years of hard work, busting his ass.Like he said, this was the PERFECT race. I actually think he was a little too restrained...if it were me, Id be doing BACK FLIPS!! lol. This is also for Yuki Ohno, for just raising an amazing person. Unbelievable!

Of course, I can't do this without congratualting the rest of the team on their SERIOUS BUTT-KICKING in the Men's Relay! Talk about 42 laps of pure pure INTENSITY. I might have just lost my voice after watching the relay..I was screaming my HEAD off! J.P, Izy,Apolo and Rusty...CONGRATULATIONS ON A MUCH DESERVED WIN!! I would have loved to be a part of the USA house after THAT race! I bet that was a non-stop party!

Now the question is...will Apolo return to the 2010 Vancouver games? The thought makes me shudder a little. I highky expect to attend those games in 4 years..and having Apolo racing there not only will be like a dream come true for me BUT it would be the icing on the cake. But thats just me being selfish. He's already got his 5 Medals (2 Gold, 1 Silver, 2 Bronze) and he's 23...he needs to live life! But then again, it would'nt hurt to go to Vancouver for one more Silver to make it a complete set, lol.

Im a little sad the Olympics are over. The fervor is now gone...no more running to the apt. after night classes to watch the games @ 8, no more getting up at the crack of dawn to check live results...no more screaming and high blood pressue...wait,i take that back! Living at the Apt. aka The Mad House aka TMH aka my mon-fri school crib in The Bronx is enough to raise my blood pressure!

In 2010..I WILL BE THERE!!
