Wall to Wall Leonard Bernstein
Wall to Wall Leonard Bernstein at Symphony Space was on Saturday, May 19th, from 3pm to 11pm. The performances were divided into three segments. Many famous musicians, dancers, and actors performed, such as Larisa Martinez, Rebecca Luker, etc.
Dance Parade
The 12th Annual NYC Dance Parade and Festival was on Saturday, May 19th. It started at 1pm.
Popular Brooklyn Half Marathon
The Popular Brooklyn Half Marathon was on Saturday, May 19th. It was raining, but not was as heavy as Boston Marathon.
Dancing with the Stars Athletes
I watched ABC's Dancing with the Stars Season 26 - dancing with the stars ATHLETES. It was a very short season, only four weeks.
Ten athletes competed in this season, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jennie Finch Daigle, Jamie Anderson, and Tonya Harding.
One of the basketball legend, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is now 70 or 71 years old. But you could tell that he had some sort of dance experience, such as jazz, or hip hop when he was younger. Probably no hip hop.
One would probably wonder, if other basketball legends would be on the DWTS one day, such as Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, or Magic Johnson. Michael Jordan is now 55, Larry Bird is 61, and Magic Johnson is 58. Actually Magic Johnson appeared on the show, but he didn't compete. He gave Kareem Abdul-Jabbar some advice, tips, and encouragement.
Jennie Finch's USA Softball team won the silver medal in the 2008 Olympic Games. And they wouldn't have a chance to compete for the gold in 2012. Because softball was taken out from the olympic programme for 2012 and 2016. I remember that I saw her crying on TV for losing the final.
Jamie Anderson doesn't seem to have any dance experience, and was eliminated in episode 1. However, she is young, and can move. I guess she can learn it fast if there's enough time.
Tonya Harding looks old. Not that she is really old. I mean she probably looks older than her real age. But she gave it all. Especially in the final freestyle dance. All three judges gave her the perfect 10.

Synchronized skating
I wish that one day Synchronized Skating be in the Winter Olympics. It's such a good spppport.
Speed Skating Mass Start
Speed Skating Mass Start was a new event at the 2018 Winter olympics in Pyeongchang, Korea. Based on a world cup video I watched before, I predicted that Estonia's Saskia Alusalu would finish 4th in the olympics. She did indeed finish 4th.
Kaetlyn Osmond
Canadian figure skater Kaetlyn Osmond won a bronze medal in ladies' singles figure skating at the 2018 Olympics. In 2014, she finished 13th in the same event.
I'm looking forward to the 2018 Figure Skating World Championships, which will be held inMilan, Italy on March 19 - 25, 2018.
Pyeongchang Winter Olympics Medal Count
The top 5
1. Norway 39 (14 Gold, 14 Silver, 11 Bronze)
2. Germany 31 (14 Gold, 10 Silver, 7 Bronze)
3. Canada 29 (11 Gold, 8 Silver, 10 Bronze)
4. USA 23 (9 Gold, 8 Silver, 6 Bronze)
5. Netherlands 20 (8 Gold, 6 Silver, 6 Bronze)

Pyeongchang Winter Olympics
The 23rd Winter Olympic Games closed yesterday in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Compared to the summer olympics, I think most (probably all) winter olympic games are fun to participate and fun to watch.
To me, the best event was the ladies's figure skating. The Russian young ladies Alina Zagitova and Yevgenia Medvedeva (and Canadian lady Kaetlyn Osmond) performed superbly. They represented the best of the world.
Of course you still remember the other two Russian figures skaters Yulia Lipnitskaya, and Adelina Sotnikova, right?

Sports Legends
I used to have 6 sports heroes. They were:
Michael Jordan
Tiger Woods
Lance Armstrong
Roger Federer
Michael Phelps
Usain Bolt
But soon after, 2 of them defaced themselves. Therefore, Tiger Woods and Lance Armstrong are no longer considered as sports legends.
Two Other Tennis Legends
As I just said, for most people, winning just one Grand Slam singles title could be their greatest achievement in life.
One such example is the American Michael Chang. In 1989, the then 17-year-old won the French Open men's singles title in his first Grand Slam final. He would be in the Grand Slam finals a few more times, but he didn't win.
Another player is the Croatian tennis player Goran Ivanisevic. In his last Grand Slam final at the Wimbledon, he won the men's singles title with a wildcard. He was in the Wimbledon finals a few more times before, but he lost in all of them.
Michael Chang and Goran Ivanisevic play very differently. They actually have completely different styles. I wonder if they have ever met on court.
A Tennis Legend
On Sunday, January 28, 2018, the Swiss professional tennis player Roger Federer won the men's singles title. This is his 6th Australian Open singles title. It's also his 20th Grand Slam singles title, including 8 at the Wimbledon, 5 at the US Open, and 1 at the French Open.
This is not easy at all. To most people, winning just one Grand Slam singles title could be their greatest achievement in life. So, needless to say, Roger Federer has become a tennis legend.

Caroline Wozniacki
Good news! Danish professional tennis player Caroline Wozniacki won the Women's Singles title at the 2018 Australian Open, the grand slam of Asia/Pacific.
In November 2014, Miss Wozmiacki ran the New York City Marathon. I saw her and called her name "Caroline" when she just came out of Central Park, at E 60th St (about mile 25.2). It was actually not easy to see someone in a marathon crowd. She looked very strong, I didn't see her getting tired at all, and it was almost at the end of the race. She finished the race with a time of 3:26:33.
