I'll be watching, I can't wait. I got my tax money in, now I want to go buy a LCD TV lol
I don't get how can someone can not enjoy watching ANY of the sports included in the olympic games 
to able to see the most elite athletes from all over the world come together as one and battle it out to see who is the best surely is something I am bloody excited about!
Once you've seen one 100m race, i think you've seen them all
hell no! I love watching the sprints even if I don't really know who the athletes are. for the whole 10/20/40 seconds of the race I feel just as pumped as the sprinters would be

Im like you, I get into sports I wouldn't even watch normally. There are a few I find boring though and don't care about. I love the first week and the swimming but not into athletics as much unless its a final.

Man the opening ceremony was SPECTACULAR!!! so awesome! hehe.
ANd go the Opals yay they won their first game!

I watched the opening ceremony on tape this morning because I was exhausted after a long day's work yesterday. It was spectacular although Seven's commentary and ad breaks were poor. The parade of the athletes went for two hours! The telecast went for 4.5 hours! I was relieved that I had given ample time to record the telecast.
I'll be watching most of it. Love my sport
OMG... it went for way too long indeed!! I actually fell asleep for about 10 mins after Spain came out... Got kinda boring.. haha.
Got kinda boring.. haha.
I watched the opening ceromony- what an amazing show!!! and when the Australian team finally came out dressed in their blue outfits- i was so emotional- i am such an patriot.

Wow! Gah, The Olympics are so exciting - I get so sad when its all over! The opening ceremony was spectacular, though I was a little dissapointed by Australias parading costume - surely we're better than that! Didnt get to see much yesterday, as I was busy, but Steph Rice's swim today was INCREDIBLE - that girl is amazing!
Yeah I'll be watching bits and pieces of the Olympics. It looks so good in high definition, well done Seven!
IF THEY DON'T SHOW SOME TENNIS I WILL CUT A BI.TCH
MOST SOME OF THE GYMNAST DON'T EVEN LOOK LIKE THEY'VE REACHED PUBERTY YET.
Sorry to tell you but they hardly ever show tennis on tv for the Olympics... maybe a few highlights but thats it :|
YEAH, I KNOW. THATS WHY IM ALREADY PLANNING MY MASSACRE ON CH 7.
I'm currently watching the men's soccer match between Argentina and Australia- what a close game- 73 minutes in before Argentina gets the first point before Australia!!!
I saw the women's road cycling race on SBS this afternoon. The last 2/3 of the race was in wet conditions - why did the authorities let it rain in Beijing when it shot more than 1000 bombs into the clouds to stop the rain from ruining the opening ceremony?
By the way, the Aussies did not do well in the race. Kate Bates withdrew late into the race, and Oenone Wood finished one minute behind the winner, Britain's Nicole Cooke.

Argentina beat Australia in men's soccer! 1- 0. Tough game but brilliant.

Rice
Rice indeed 
Why is Australia doing so crappy 
one gold medal!
only one!
one gold medal!

I wish they showed more of the equestrian events. I've seen one person compete in dressage and that's it

One had the voice and one had the looks. Performed in front of billions of people on TV, Lin Miaoke, Aged 9, lipsync’d on the Beijing Opening Ceremony and impressed millions and millions of people. She was promised with a promising carreer in the future but little did we know, she actually mouthed the words during the night.
Behind the performance there was infact another young girl aged 7 who actually sang the song but was not given credit to. She didn’t perform on the stage because she wasn’t “cute enough”.
“We had to do,” the music director said, “the reason was for the national interest, the child on camera should have flawless image and expression.” He said,” Lin Miaoke was excellent in all of those areas.”
Chinese bloggers backup the situation, “If you’re not good looking enough, no matter how well you sing, you will not be on stage, do you know you’re twisting a whole generation? If foreigners found out, they’d think we can’t even find a girl who is good at both.”
Little amazing girl, Yang Peiyi says she’s just honoured to be part of the ceremony.
Oh yea! Forgot to mention, China also faked the fireworks! Haha. I’m so ashamed of China. At first I was so proud of the country where my ancestors were from, but now, im totally ashamed of China.
Do you remember the 29 Footsteps or something? Well that wasn’t live. They recorded that digitally because they were afriad they wouldn’t be able to capture it live.
I would like to see that young girl Yang Peiyi sing at the closing ceremony, if you feel the same, please sign this petition - gah im so angry at China!
