The 2014 Sochi Olympics are over and the Paralympics are going to start at the end of the week. We love the Olympics in our house. They were actually quite the distraction to getting school accomplished. There were a lot of new sports added this year, including snowboard events. We enjoyed watching and analyzing the BX events. In typical BX style, you don't necessarily need to be standing when you cross the finish line, you just need to cross it. You also can't quit when you fall down - pick yourself up, get back on the course, and keep going. You never know what will happen further down the course.
The Olympic course was a TOUGH course. Harder than most and was compared to an X Games course, although my source tells me that they don't do BX at the X Games so not sure where the commentators got that from. Anyway, it was tough, harder than anything Whitney will encounter this season. We had fun watching and can't wait for the Paralympic BX.
