I was not interested in the Olympic Games of Vancouver,
because medals of Japanese players will not be promising
due to expectation of foreign sports journalism.
But my idea was a big mistake. Of course medals are
very important for players and the people, but their
super-plays move me passionately.
It is said that it is more important to take part in
the Olympic Games than to win. I think so too, and
I am respectful to players' talent and effort that
I can't understand.
I don't say medals, but I will thank their indomitable
fighting spirits that encourage and move me.
It is said that spirit, technique and condition.
I think that spirit controls technique and condition.
It is same in our daily life.

Looking at the Medal table....I never imagined
South Korea would be all that competitive in the Winter
Olympics but they've won 5 gold medals.
It's interesting that China, Korea and Japan have all won
most of their medals in speed skating or figure skating.
Anyway....I'm not really into it.....I just don't understand
most of the sports. I don't get why they mark ski jumpers
on distance AND style. Doesn't physics teach us that if
their style is the best their distance will also be the best.
But none of that really matters....I'm just happy Australia
is beating England at yet another thing they should be
beating us in.

Wow, I didn't realize ski jump had style points. That's really dumb.
More generally, I don't trust any "sport" where judges award scores. The judge's impression of each athlete will color their scores, so that they either reward the stars for being stars, or punish them by holding them to a higher standard than other athletes.
By comparison, in orchestras, during auditions they have applicants play from behind a screen because studies have shown that even the world's finest conductors aren't capable of completely separating their bias from their judgment. It's ridiculous to imagine that say, figure skating judges have somehow solved this problem when nobody else can.
(Things like boxing are an exception though - boxing has judges and scoring, but only to determine which of two boxers should win. In this case it works because the score isn't expected to have any arbitrary significance.)
