Alright, I just finished watching the opening ceremony. The torch lighting was smurfing insane. God damn.
Wow. I didn't know fencing was an Olympic sport, and I didn't know it was so cool. I just thought it was people clinging blades. Didn't know it had points and such.
You sure showed them.Originally Posted by Roto13
The opening ceremony was pretty hot.
Overall, the female Canadian soccer team is pretty cute. ^_^
I love the gymnastic. I actually greatly prefer the Winter Olympics, because I like ice skating a lot more, but gymnastic, to me, is close enough to that!
Wow, and I wasn't even trying to show anybody anything! :rolleyes2You sure showed them.
I don't really have any interest in the athletics side of the Olympics. Naturally I'd like Britain to do well, but I'm more eager for the Premiership to get started again!
The opening ceremony was absolutely spectacular. I've never seen something that struck in such a way as that ceremony did. It must've taken a tremendous amount of work and money to get all that to come off the way it did. I read in the Evening Standard (was a copy on the train when I was coming home last night) from a journalist saying that London has no hope of improving on that opening ceremony and I partly agree. Absolutely amazing. Would've absolutely loved to have been there to see it. I've a great love for China as a country in respect of its culture and history.
As for the games themselves, I do think that they may have done some political good. Obviously they've been a way for the West to put pressure on Beijing to improve its record in human rights and the like because they want and need this to go off well. There've been reports of the police being unusually pleasant and easygoing with foreign reporters while this is going on. Naturally the notion that you can only protest in certain areas strikes me as being unfair, but the fact that they'll allow it at all seems like progress to me. I really would like the Chinese people to enjoy the freedoms that we sometimes take for granted in the West.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
The Japan vs USA Women volleyball game was wonderful. It was very close!
I missed itIs it on youtube yet?
If you watch this communist propaganda, you are a liberal.
I like Kung-Fu.
I like the Winter Olympics more, because sports like speedskating and ice hockey are my favorite olympic sports. There are tons of cool sports in both seasons that I have never seen before that are amazing to watch.
Oh, well.
you can watch online at nbcolympics.com!
I'm watching badminton right now, these people are SOOOO good.
Did you know that the shuttleCOCK in badminton can travel in excess of 150 mph (241 km/h) ?!
I like it as a recreational backyard game. I didn't know it was so intense.
i thought they were evil.either,the china team can't defend themselves,or the canadians are just plain mean.kicking people in the face and such..
