So I stayed up late to watch the women's gymnastics on Thursday night. I beleive I was up to a little after 1pm. WAY late for me. I was so sucked in by the performances and the competition. It was great to watch.
On Friday morning they interviewed the two girls - Nastia is 18 and Shawn is 16. They did so well in the interview. They were so well spoken. It made me proud to have them up there representing my country and gymnastics.
And then I arrive to work. One of the things I do on a fairly regular basis is look at the Bermuda news on the Royal Gazette web-site. Their news? Their latest story on a 16 year old girl? Well she was just arrested along with 4 teenage boys for allegedly stabbing an 18 year old boy to death this past Saturday. And when I read further as to what they had on their possession as presumed weapons it just made me ill.
Let's hope more role models of the olympics make the news and inspire the younger generations to do great things... Because the other news is just too horrific and sad.
And on a positive note, I see the Bermudian equestrian may be going to the finals. Now that would be cool.
