Apolo, Oh no!

Hey ya'll. Hope everybody had a good weekend. As most of you know, the Olympics are on right now. Apolo Ohno broke the record for most winter Olympic game medals this weekend, but he won won it with a bronze medal instead of a gold medal. He has worked 4 years for these games and he knew he was gonna go for this record.

(thought this would be a funny picture)

So, the last race that he needed a medal to get the record. He started off in between to countries (3rd) He passes someone, but then on one of the last turns he gets bumped loses all of his speed and the Korean pair takes the lead. 4 years of training for Apolo and he loses the gold on a bump. Simply, that sucks....the un-gust if you will. You could see the disappointment on his face after the race in the interview, knowing that he had the race in the bag up until the bump.

In another sporting event this weekend, I was watching a college basketball game Vanderbelt (19) vs Kentucky (2). It came down to Vanderbelt's last chance to tie the game, perfect pass down the court to their big man, he puts up the shot and in my mind im thinking to myself "He made it! It's going to overtime!" Unfortunately, that was not the case and 2 Kentucky gets the W. The sad thing is he will remember that moment for the rest of his life, the moment where he could have sent the game into overtime for his team, possibly pull-off the upset, a moment any athlete dreams of his whole life. Granted, it was just to tie, but still.

2 sporting events, 2 chances, 2 atheletes that royally blew it, 2 un-gustful moments. So, what's the moral of this story? No clue, I thought it was cool to see though right? For Ohno he has to wait 4 years! Until he gets that chance again...nothing else to say about that, but its a long time. Next time you are in a situation like these 2 men were in don't choke, for my sake...even though I will laugh if you do. Until, next time. Stay sweet!
