    Oh, I don't like those German uniforms either... not only do they look like Ken and Barbie, the colors clash totally with those of the German flag!

    Exactly! I really don't know why they haven't chosen something in the colors of our flag; that would have looked much nicer. These uniforms look ridiculous; one article referred to them as "piggy pink" and "baby blue", which is so true! lol

    I was looking at the page you referred us to with the picture, at the responses following the article. I wish I understood German, because I'd love to see what kind of comments those outfits were getting!

    Some say they hate them, but others claimed to actually like them because they are "different". Well, different is what they are - indeed! lol

    I heard on the news today something I didn't know about fencing- it is a very old sport and has been in every occurrence of the modern Olympics. I got into curling two years ago, and the fencing interests me because it seems to need skill and careful strategy to score points. After watching the swimming and diving I want to learn how to dive smoothly into a swimming pool instead of always going to the ladder.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    I didn't think I would but I've been watching the Olympics non-stop, except for sleep. It's been quite interesting. I also like the interest stories.
