Hey, taking a moment to wish you all a good Olympig Games
-
I hear one country forgot to register their athletics people... so they are flying back today.
Crazy.
-
The opening ceremony was amazing. Absolutely unreal.
-
I agree with Pacific, the ceremony was extremely good. Wonder how long these "table dudes" have been practicing!

I heard that it was an athlete from Brunei, their only athlete present

I'll be watching the Kiwis on TV :D
Still, with China being a pretty average country with its 'dodgy' reputation in politics I think if there was ever an Olympic games where a bomb or something goes off then this year's will be it.
-
I am looking froward to the day the London stadia opens. I think that will be one of the UKs' proudest days of 2013.
-
I am not interested in such an event. I look forward to London 2012.
-
Another Olympic? ;D
World Cup and EPL > Olympics > others :P
My list of worth watching sports event.....
-
The opening cermony was truly phenominal. China used it's cheapest resource, humans, as a change, and was very interesting. But i feel sad for the chicks that had to dance during the country marches, they were there dancing for 2 hours or so...
-
They're even using rent-a-crowds.

Yes, and during parts of the Torch Relay too (China leg)
also,
The firework footprints (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/olympics/2534499/Beijing-Olympic-2008-opening-ceremony-giant-firework-footprints-faked.html) and the girl singing (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/olympics/2545387/Beijing-Olympics-Faking-scandal-over-girl-who-sang-in-opening-ceremony.html) was later deemed FAKE
:o
-
The fireworks were there for real, outside the stadium.
At least the fireworks actually went off, although TV viewers didn't see it.
As for the girl substitution, it wasn't a nice thing to do and China will hopefully learn from this.
-
To sum up the games so far:
Usain Bolt is the fastest man on earth (how long until he fails a drug test? :P )
Michael Phelps is awesome, but should create his own country to stop the US getting more medals than they deserve.
Team GB are good for once! We own at Cycling, rowing and sailing!
Bring on London 2012.
-
And a rain-soaked Misty May-Trenor and Kerri Walsh in high-definition was absolutely fantastic. ;D
-
Ahh... The wonders of Olympics in 54" Hi-Definition and 7.1 surround sound... 8)
You know what would suck though?
If Phelps got tested positive on a drug test :-[
-
As the Greek Media say, "Greece, we were the only ones this year to win a gold in doping!" :roll:
Half of the weight lifting team, runners, a swimmer, paul volter, and numerous others have been disqualified for doping......We only have 2 silvers and a bronze
-
Matthew Mitcham (Australia) came back and owned that one Chinese guy in Diving! ;D
-
From what I've heard, they were first alerted about the Chinese Gymnast being too young when she looked at one of the other competitor's Nikes and said "Hey, I made those!"
