Olympic Swimming
If you didn’t see this last night, then you really missed out. Watch it right now, it is truly amazing. I think it’s one of the most incredible moments of the olympics so far.
After watching swimming events for the past couple of nights, I’ve developed a new fondness of swimming. I always knew that swimming was pretty insane and I even tried to get into it last summer, by swimming a couple of times a week on top of my running, but I’ve realized that I’m a pretty bad swimmer and should maybe just stick to running.
I’m really excited to watch more swimming, so it’s good that it’s been getting a lot of coverage, thanks to Michael Phelps. At the same time, I can’t wait for the track and field events to start up, because those athletes are also insane.

Nice blog Akshay! Haha, yea I definetely agree with the insaneness of swimming and track-and-field. Athletes train for years to shave that extra 0.1 second off their time, for both sports. That’s what I personally find the most amazing.
