The Hamelin brothers getting fourth and fifth in short track was one of the first times I was actually mad that a Korean won. Usually if Korea wins, I am all for it. I have pride for my motherland. Koreans are just as crazy for their sports athletes, and that sense of pride is perfectly captured by this quote from a member of the South Korean Olympic committee. I did not edit this quote and I just love the abrupt transition at the end:
“I think the whole nation is in front of the television,” said John Moon, chief of staff of the South Korean Olympic Committee. “Kim Yu-na is the country’s special sister. Every athlete is important, but her medal is more important than the others. She is beautiful. She’s our pride. I think the Koreans will have a lot of drinks.”
BTW if anyone knows where I can get that Team Korea jacket that Yuna was sporting let me know. Not in her size though. Please, I know you may think it, but I am not that slender.
