Default Hate it or not .Olympics 08

China definitely killed it this year. This will leave a lot of pressure for the up coming countries to host Olympic.

Wonderful Opening and Closing Ceremony.

Discuss.

Very true.
On the whole, I think the games were quite successful.

The gymnastics scoring will have to be overhauled again, no doubt.
And there's the question of age to be settled for Team China as well.

On a personal note, I still think there's still a little too much Vegas glam in some of their modern architecture. That said, the opening ceremony was incredible and I know the closing ceremony will be even more so.

when there were shit to watch on tv I flipped it over to the olympics. Other than that, I was mostly interested in the gymnastic and track and field. Wished they televised other events more such as Ping Pong
