I saw some footage of Chelsea Clinton at the Olympics. She looks stiff! I’m wondering if she’s really there; or if they just got one of those cardboard stand-ups? I can’t tell if she’s enjoying the Games. Every shot I see of her, she is sitting or standing very still, with a big smile on her face.
What sports does she like? Does she play any herself (no, not at the Olymics!)?
Last night after Misty Hyman won the 200m butterfly, when the camera panned over to Chelsea to get a reaction shot, there was a woman with a camera right in Chelsea’s face taking her picture. I felt bad for Chelsea. I’m guessing she hasn’t been able to really enjoy herself because she spends the whole time having people staring at her and snapping pictures.
No, I understand that she has a part-time job in one of the dining halls at Stanford, dishing out the lima beans at $3.15 an hour. She scrimped and saved for MONTHS to buy her ticket.
She was watching the badminton game between Poul Erik Højer (defending olympic champ) and “son djong” (or something… hes the defending world champ this year) and she actully kinda let herself get into it… the game was exciting as hell (if youre a badminton fan that is… i am seeing as im danish and its the only thing were got at) anywho… she seemed to really follow the game and she cheered and stood up when the rest of the crowd did… she seemed to have an awesome time… probably because badminton doesnt get all that much of attention…
Maybe she was at the Badmiton game because it is the only sport/game where a piece of equipment is named partly after male genitalia (shuttleCOCK) Just a guess.
I heard part of the Women’s Weightlifting competition. The announcer kept saying, “She has a nice snatch.” Apparently, “snatch and jerk” is a method of lifting weights.
And on the water there was the “coxless four” race.
I always figured Chelsea had to finish a lot of her classes via correspondence or videoconferencing, because every time I turned my head, there she was on CNN on state visits in France or Greece or Kamchakta or wherever.
As for Misty Dawn Hyman, she was named for how the weather was on the morning she was born. And, yes, an excellent porn name it would be (huh huh … you said “Hyman”).
Chelsea Clinton isn’t taking classes in the first term at Stanford this year. Reportedly, she is ahead of pace for graduation and only needs to attend one or two terms at Stanford to graduate (I believe Stanford uses quarters.)
There’s the snatch, and the clean and jerk. Snatching is supposed to be one motion, whereas clean and jerk is two separate ones. Your combined total, I think (or is this world championships?), determines medals. I’m probably wrong about that.
Coxless fours are crew races. You also have twins and eights, the latter of which I don’t believe can be coxless, but I’m probably wrong about that as well.
