Posted August 8, 200817 yr It's gonna be a great one this year and I'm wondering if anyone is going to see it in person and what is everyone favorite summer sport mine is baseball and I'm cheering for team USA happy 2008 olympics
August 8, 200817 yr A bit too far to travel, I watched a little bit of the opening ceremonies this morning online and it looked really cool.
August 8, 200817 yr gamb is going to watch one of the soccer games with the US. i'm more into the track and field events.
August 9, 200817 yr Let's stick it to China and beat them on their home turf:D you know Australia is gonna walk away with the most medals,. they have done for like the last 5 olympic games!
August 9, 200817 yr Author yes the opening deal was awesome and then they had this humongos 500 ft lcd screen and lots of coreography that took months to practice it was amazing
August 10, 200817 yr I used to be a competetive swimmer, so definately looking forward to that. Now I'm a soccer ref, so add that to my "Must See" column.
August 10, 200817 yr I am away on vacation, otherwise i could be there. By the way the opening ceremony was a blast, real demo of what how fast is China developing.
August 13, 200817 yr People still watch the olympics? Damn, some of these "events" need to be dropped...as a matter of fact I wish they'd just stick to: Track and Field, Swimming, and gymnastics. Anyone happen to see Womens Hand Ball? lol, well I guess they needed something worse than Womens Basketball.
August 13, 200817 yr Actually they are dropping some events after this year... I know softball is gonna be gone

Anyone happen to see Womens Hand Ball? lol, well I guess they needed something worse than Womens Basketball. When I was a kid I used to get mad over the Olympics. We weren't allowed to use anyone that had received one dollar from anyone. While everyone else used professionals. It is amazing how many Russian Army Officers there were who only job was training for the Olympics. I guess that has changed but I still have no interest in the games.
August 15, 200817 yr I watch my sport last night "swimming" we didn't do so well, Gold: China, Silver:China, Bronze: England
August 15, 200817 yr I have discovered that, at certain angles, I look a LOT like Phelps. I will try to get a good comparison photo

August 15, 200817 yr It's a shame that the IOC won't investigate chinas gymasts, they don't look a day over 14. I know they said it's out of "respect" but I don't by that for a second.
August 15, 200817 yr Yeah they said some site had proof that one was only 14, but the proof was mysteriously removed almost immediately.
August 15, 200817 yr I have discovered that, at certain angles, I look a LOT like Phelps. I will try to get a good comparison photo I bet you don't have his arm spread. I think he can touch his toes while standing straight.......
August 15, 200817 yr yeah Im lacking the 6'7" wingspan... But that is not bad if you are not a swimmer.......
