So theyre starting with the fucking Showjumping. Thats fukcing NO BUYS right there.

At least there si some womens Beach Volleyball later on

when do they show the bedroom olympics?

OK, watched the ceremonies on tape delay last night. I thought it was pretty awesome, actually. See what a couple of hundred million dollars and 50,000 or so people can do?

just a shame they limited the womens events as victoria would have scooped several golds there i'm sure.

Other Olympic beautys

Where we the Germans?

beating our wimmins hockey team 5-1 it seems.

But Barry Davies was commentating. And it was so GREAT. Why the BBC doesnt have him doing the football anymore I'll never know. He pisses on everyone.

that's rather entertaining...gets zero coverage in the States until the Olympics...

I've always wondered why. Seems like a pretty cool sport.

...and we beat China team today; sport is quite cool, really; there is also much of physical contacts acceptable by referees . btw - I prefer volleyball:).

Jason Lezak........well done, sir!

Yes, and congrats to the US men's gymnastics team. A very surprising accomplishment to win a bronze, considering their lack of experience and the two last minute injury replacement. The Chinese were great, though, except on the high bar. It is especially impressive watching them on the rings!

I am surprised that Germany got beaten so badly by Greece in men's basketball. Just goes to show how good European hoops is.

i have seen the men's synchronised diving and some archery. they were tremendous.

They have MEN'S synchronised diving? What next? I did see the women's synchronised diving yesterday. It was pretty cool to watch, though I must confess I don't really see the point of synchronised diving.

I'm in great admiration for the achievements of Michael Phelps, but the US anthem really does make me want to puke.

then, you shouldn't watching it, so YOU don't have to puke! can you not be proud at least for a month?

Love him to bits on TMS but I don't think Blowers commentary style transfers itself to rowing.

I think that's probably the reason then.

The best part so far is has been the look on the French swimmers' faces.

I havent heard much of the Rowing on the Radio so far.

Alan Green and Blowers does sound like a bit of a dream team to me though.

i know... !

i thought THE OLYMPICS was all about the athletes, not the country...

Dont call me buddy.

If its all about the Individual, and not the country then what is all this relay malarkey about then? and why do they play the national anthems? and why bother with a medal table?

Its only the US anthem is find vomit inducing. mostof the other anthems i find quite stirring, apart from the drudge which is God Save The Queen.
