I enjoyed them too. I've been thinking about my trip to Russia all week. It's been MANY years ago now (perestroika/Boris Yeltsen era), but it was such a great trip. And from watching, I feel like I need to re-read War and Peace. I remembered snippets, but not enough of it.
I love watching the obscure sports and marveling at someone making Biathlon or Curling their life's work. It takes so much determination and sacrifice; I am continually humbled at the thought.
I HATE watching all the ridiculous bios and the overly heavy editing of the events so that all you see are the medal winners and the Americans. If they cut out 5 minutes of the sappy crap they could show a lot more of, I don't know, SPORTS!
