Olympic Boxing!

Our tickets for Saturday were for the qualifying rounds of lightweight and welterweight boxing. I'm not really clear what the rules were, but I certainly enjoyed all the National Pride that people were shouting when their country stepped into the ring.

Okay, I'm reflecting on this months later and I'm thinking this description is insufficient.  I have no new thoughts on boxing, as I still couldn't give a crap about the rules, but I will say I enjoyed the uniforms on each and every one of the boxers. I'm starting to think that a little boxing might come in handy in my own life.  Throwing a punch here or there might be rather fun.  And if I could potentially get some new bling (you can wear your Olympic medals in public, right? Or they also win belts, no?  I could use a new belt) out of the deal, I might start practicing.  I'll have to buy myself a punching bag and start training.
