stevepole Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 the arrangement of the countries at the parade had to do with how many strokes it took to write the countries name out in Chinese. GO TEAM USA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millard Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Opening Ceremony was awesome, definatly the best out of the ones ive seen, just can't help thinking how the hell are London going to follow that in 4 years time. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmclark911 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 That was one hell of an opening. Can't wait for the events to start. By the way, if you don't want to watch the big-time events like swimming and gymnastics, they do broadcast online. (and they show events on like 10 different channels :roll: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Only in the football. If you qualify, and your country's got an Olympic Committee, you can participate at any age I think. He's a diver though, so I don't get how they get away with filming him. It's not like I can go down to my local swimming pool and film all the kiddies jumping off the springboards... :? She's a diver. And she's 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Opening ceremonies were amazing! The imagery was fantastic and the people in the blocks were...just....wow!

ThurinEthir Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Was it just me, or did it sound like Iran got booed when they came in the parade? Yea, I noticed something. Also with Iraq too...And Taiwan. (Though it may have been that there were a lot of Taiwanese people there cheering. Doubt it though) -.- The basketball game between China and USA tomorrow (Or whatever, I'm confused by all these time differences) is big news within my friends. Most of us are Asian (Chinese), but there are a few Americans. So we've taken sides. : Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.

mrpez Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 there's no need to take the olympics seriously anyway. its mainly entertainment. even a winner of a gold medal will be forgotten a month after the olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powman3 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I'm up for Michael Phelps winning another gold again. And USA will more than likely claim gold in basketball. Though it's too bad we don't have Kevin Garnett (at least, from what I know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushrock Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Wow. The opening ceremony was amazing. What a show. Personally, I'm really interested in watching the rowing, shooting, archery, and running events. I'd like to see a triathalon, too. Basically, I'm interested in a lot of the sports. I think I'll enjoy everything. I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
