Yay!!! Time for some good times. The games (shouldn't it be just sport ) is starting tomorrow night for me, a little bit into the even thou. there's a 2 hour time difference b/w the two countries, mine and theirs.
Anybody going to watch?
Any favourite games/sports?
I will be watching the opening ceremony, I always watch them even thou I don't watch much of the sports. The same goes for the closing ceremony.
It'a pretty much round the clock coverage from about 9:30am till 2am according to the tv guide. there's 2 channels covering it.
let's have some fun...
oh by the way, no nothing about political about china and tibet and human rights etc - create another thread if you desire to get into it, BUT this thread is about the games & for the games only: celebrations/wins, crying over your team/sport loss, the weather, the facilities, the medal telly etc

The starting of Olympics 08-Beijing is awesome. I like Olympic games very much. Every player keeps their full efforts in their game.

Well US. Men's basketball destroyed China. I am confident we (U.S) will have the most medals out of all in the games.

oh I don't know about that, the aussies already have a few medals under their belts, even today there was 2/3 medals - gold, in swimming.
I believe both US and Aust. do really well in swimming they seem have always.
Even Norway won their first swimming medal.
Don't know what the telly is, haven't checked.
I know China won their first medal in weight lifting.

I watched the opening ceremony think it was great, the lighting of the torch was excellent, its up there with the arrow, sydneys, and athens were they used water - is that what happened??.
Loved the drums at the beginning.
Liked the uniforms for Australia using the different shades of blue to represent sky and water shades. It can get a bit boring with the yellow and green colours (even thou gold and green are the offical colours for aust.)

Did anyone see the swimming last night?? I am not a "pro-US" person or anything, but that relay race was incredible.
