I agree the opening ceremony was amazying, the quality of choreography great.

The opening was quite a show. I loved the colors, the costumes, the different ways they expressed China's history...it was just amazing to watch. Zhang Yi Mou definitely delievered. I can't even imagine what it must have felt like being there live (except for the ridiculous heat...I don't want to imagine that). I wonder how London is going to top this opening ceremony.
I tried my best...
India won it's first individual gold medal since....forever, I think.
Abhinav Bindra hence became India's most eligible bachelor.
I partially watched Australia get silver in one of the rowing contest and the duel diving.

I've been watching the Olympics avidly, mostly because there's not much else on TV where I'm at because they're preempting all other shows on 2 of the 9 channels available here.
Even though I'm from the US, I find myself rooting against them because really most athletes from other countries don't have it as good as the US, with our Olympic training centers and support systems.
Athletes from countries like China can distinguish themselves from the billion others of their kind by winning at the Olympics, whereas an America who wins will rarely achieve the same kind of social recognition unless they win several events or get caught cheating.
I'll admit the US has the best looking female athletes though.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Yeah, but the thing is that girl is happy to have been able to represent her country with her voice, even if she wasn't standing out on stage. You still feel bad for her but just goes to show how different the culture is there...

I think the international community will try to find fault with anything the Chinese do during the Olympics, turning otherwise trivial matters into conspiracies demonstrative of the communist iron fist that has its firm grip around its peoples' throats. It's a vicious cycle, causing the Chinese to up the ante and try to be even more perfect, causing more criticism.
I like Alicia Sacramone (gymnastics) and Logan Tom (volleyball) for that honor.

Fucking awesome moment in the Olympics. I wish Shawn and Nastia did this after they took gold and silver. http://i36.tinypic.com/14kbho2.jpg

I found it less amazing after I read this here

for some reason these are news nobody wants to know, i feel so sad for the girl now, who was to "ugly" for the world.
but for some other unknown reason I don't care much about the olympics this year... normally I wake up in the morning to watch it... but this year I couldn't care less, all I did so far was looking the summary from time to time... I don't know why though
I even used to watch it with my whole family normally,simply because it was fun....didn't happen this time
