Jetlag and then influenza has rendered most of our family prone on the couch these past few days.
Fortunately, there has been A LOT of sport on TV - events that we find interesting....Road Cycling, Aussie Rules Football and of course The Commonwealth Games.
In particular, I have enjoyed watching the swimming - especially the underwater views. Our preschooler started swimming lessons this year - blowing bubbles, digging with arms and kicking with long legs have been the main concepts. Watching the swimming broadcast together means that I can point out the bubbles streaming out of the nose/mouth, the digging that goes on underneath and the long kicking legs.
The combination of clear digital pictures, mostly astute and intelligent commentary and advances in the technology and the approach to sports broadcasting adds so much educational value to viewers.
I have also enjoyed the time spent beside my little ones explaining as we are watching.
Looking forward to the athletics.
Hope you are enjoying the games!
