Hey everyone now that the Olympics have started and are under way I was wondering if everyone is watching and have you caught the Olympic fever.

 

Also on the NBC 4 Olympic website there is live streaming which I think is awesome, unfortunately, it only works on certain computers.

I have permanent Olympic fever. I love the games, and I watch them every time they come around. The opening ceremonies were tremendous. Phelps is an amazing swimmer. The American Men's swimming relay shattered the world record last night and managed to edge out the French--just unbelievable.

I saw that too!!! I was yelling at the top of my lungs, (during the final 50m) "C'mon you can beet him! GO! GO! GO! (pause as both teams touch the wall) YEAH! WE WON! NO WAY! YEAH!!" It was just an amazing comeback I can't wait for the other swimming events and for Track and Field.

 

Note: I also have permanent Olympic fever. I know more about olympic athletes than any other sport. You could sort of say I watch the Olympics religiously. :lol:

It's too bad Ave's got me on her ignore list.

 

It means she won't see it when I call her a hormonal teenage girl.

I'm completly aware of this. As a matter a fact, I embrace it fully.

OMG Phelps goes for two medals tonight, and two world records. He now has the most gold medals ever (11)!!!! WOW the relay team broke 7 minutes in the 4x200m. NICE NEW WORLD RECORD!! Phelps basically won the 200m freestyle with his eyes closed because of his goggles.

 

I feel so bad for US women's gymnastics :( but hey China won it fair and square.

I watch them while having lunch if they're anything good, but my mom always changes the channel to some lame reality show or soap. :(

 

In any case, I'm glad India got her first individual gold medal for anything. It's about goddamn time.

Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson got revenge yesterday, so all is well. Those judges kept trying to find ways to deduct points and get the Chinese up there. Don't say they weren't trying to do that.

I love the Olympics, but my life doesn't revolve around them. Whenever I have a chance to watch them, I will. I normally do watch them at night before I go to bed, so ya. PHELPS IS AWESOME!!!

 

GO USA!!!

Going for number 7 tonight I believe. Wonder how much of the Star-Spangled Banner is getting stuck in the heads of everyone at the Water Cube. I think it cut out once early, and everyone started laughing.

Yeah, there was some sort of controversy about it, the Serbians didn't like the outcome or whatever, even though the touchpads in the water can't lie! (or can they?)

 

The women's soccer team plays Japan, I think, so that should be a good game. The U.S. has apparently never lost to Japan in 21 matches (plus we beat them earlier in these Olympics), so hopefully they do fine.

 

I'll be watching the men's basketball team play Spain. The women's team obliterated them yesterday.

I've watched every single one of Phelps' races with my girlfriend. I've also seen a good amount of water polo, a lot of beach volleyball, some gymnastics, and a touch of handball.

 

One thing that I can't watch is track.

I saw that, in fact. It stopped right at the end. I wasn't laughing, however :indif:

Oh, anything electronic can malfunction. They just went to the camera to see whether or not it looked like Cavic won, and it was obvious that Phelps out touched him.

I honestly couldn't tell...from the angles I got, it looked like they touched at the same exact time.

 

The men's basketball team took care of business easily against Spain...can't believe people actually think these teams can somehow challenge them.

I want to rectify myself. I dunno if it's because of the late hour where your tv shows doesn't need to be postponed or cancelled, or if something changed with me, but this year Olympic games aren't half bad. Probably because you're not obliged to watch the sports you don't like.
