Yay!!! Time for some good times. The games (shouldn't it be just sport WinkTongue ) 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...Smile  Clown  Cool Star
 
 
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 Smile

Kinda busy but in the meantime I'll be primarily watching the most dominant force on the planet, the "Redeem Team" err "Dream Team" USA men's basketball.

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.
