As an athlete formerly involved in Olympic Lifting, let me say too you... it will always be a huge doping fest.

cant wait ill be watching as much as i can love nearly all sports even took a tv in to work

And BTW 100m + field events FTW.

Opening Ceremony was amasing, I enjoyed the synchronised tai chi with 2008 people a lot

Very very nice. Amazing choreography all round.

Out

Man i missed the starting of waterpolo in the olympics. I found out about a week ago from my high school water polo coach that they have water polo in the olympics. I'm betting it was on while i was in Princeton for thier water polo camp. I can't believe a people came all the way from canada and California to go to the waterpolo camp in Princeton NJ.

Yeah that opening ceremony was amazing. With all the countries coming in and waving their flags it was astounding how many newcomers are competing this time.

there were a bunch of countries I had never heard of their existance LOL
Nice to see some traditional clothing as well

the synchronised diving was really cool to see, those 2 chinese need to be nerfed lol

Anyone watch the 4X100 Men's relay? American's beat those talking French guys that were going to "smash the American's". US won by .08 seconds after being down by .5 seconds going into the final stretch. Beat the world record by 4 seconds. The top 5 teams beat the old world record.

Here's a link to a rec for you. Instant classic.

Yeah that was amazing, not because of that, mainly because it was the American B team, it wasnt their proper team they were going to sub like 2/3 swimmers! lol

Yeah i saw that relay. I was heading off to go to bed when i saw on the tv that 3 guys were ahead of the previous record by a huge length so i had to watch. Man that was awesome the american guy just suddelnly overtook the french guy. The French must be extremely angry right now.

man yesterday i was watching the womens gymnastics, some of the stuff they can do is just wth lol

especially when they are doing flips or what not on some thin beam and manage to stay standing is amazing!

Here's one for you Chris. I'm sure anyone who follows the Olympics knows what this is, but I figured since you're one of the younger one's and a non-American you might not have seen or known about it. She completed the second vault with 2 (that's TWO) torn ligaments in her ankle.

Ok, I have a question for you Non-U.S. living folks:

How many of your countries really "care" about the total medal count from the olympics? The impression I get from the media over here is that most countries only "care" about winning the gold in select events and that the overall medal count isn't nearly as important. So, I'm going to the source. What's the deal?
