CHEERIN' UP YOU ｐ(*^-^*)ｑ♪

I had a Joji's lesson at Gaba,today.
He made my day,too.

We talked about sports and the Olympics.
Topics was almost Vancouver Olympics.
He was interested in Hockey.
Meanwhile, I was about a figure skating.

Following the first time that I heard.

【ski mogle】
One said it,Men's and Women's ski mogle.

【figure skating】
The other said that Men's figure skating.but don't say Women's figure skating.
It always says Ladies figure skating.

He don't know that why do everyone say so,only about figure skating!
It seems a mystery.

And then,about What do we say in English,"応援".

I learned some following phrases today.

There are two phrases

I'm cheering for Carolina Kostner and Joannie Rochette.
I support the Japanese skater.

Former represents about "one event".
The latter is about "supporting".

Actually,I cheering for C,Kostner and J.Rochette.
Because, I think one comes from Italy. She is very famous the skater in Italy.

And she participated in many volunteer activities throughout the skating.
The other is mentally strong skater.She is the representative of Canada.
She lost her mother during Vancouver Olympics.
However,she has expressed condolences to her mother of own skating.

I respect her both.
