2016 Olympics and Weekend #Linky

Welcome to my weekend blog hop -
Make My Saturday Sweet #185!


Do you have any favorite sports that you are watching in the Olympics? Right now I'm watching the Rhythmic Gymnastics on our TV here in South Africa. I love all the pretty outfits, colorful apparatuses, skill, and creativity. The ribbon is always the prettiest, and all the participants have amazing legs! My eldest daughter took rhythmic for a few years and made it to the South African Championships twice.

What countries are you following? I've got several that I have connections to like USA and SA, but I enjoy seeing any individual or team succeed, especially when the person says that it's the first medal for their country.

South Africa has had a few exciting moments. My favorite was seeing Wayde van Niekerk's record-breaking run in the 400m. It gave me the goosebumps! This morning I watched Henri Schoeman finish third in the men's triathlon. The South African's have earned 9 medals so far with 1 gold, 6 silvers, and 2 bronzes!

I think it's wonderful how many medals the South Africans have won! We haven't been watching any of the Olympics this year and it seems almost un-American. It has been a very busy Summer and we've been spending a lot of our evenings sitting quietly on the porch. I guess that shows that we are getting on in age! My favorites have always been gymnastics and diving though.
Thank you for the link party and have a blessed weekend dear lady.

My recent post Today is the Day That Hope Prevails!
I'm so glad you mentioned the rhythmic gymnastics, because I'd planned to watch some of it, but then totally forgot! Hopefully I can find some to watch online. And how cool that your daughter competed in it!

Honestly, I have not watched any of the Olympics this year!! I so surprised too. I always love watching them. We are in the middle to remodeling our house so I have just not had the time. I hope to catch some of it on youtube or something. My favorites are the gymnastics and swimming.
