I'm not that interested in them. I like the Winter Olympics better, but I thought I might as well start a topic on them.

Agreed with Jman and Shadow, Hockey is the only sport I really watch besides baseball.
You Canadians! So Canadiany!
 
I watched all of the opening ceremony yesterday. It was definitely one of the best things I've ever seen. ^_^

In terms of sports, I watched soccer (China Vs. Canada), gymnastics, and cycling.

Oh, I forgot to mention that soccer was horrible. :-/
 
DAMMIT! Todd Bachman was killed by some Chinese dude... he was the CEO of Bachman's, a floral store based in Minneapolis. I played there like a few months ago... damn...

Are you referring to the incident in Beijing?
If so, didn't somebody else get injured?

Yes, his wife was injured I believe... she's in critical condition.
 
Well, Bul, the olympics are a time when the world's nations are meant to gather and celebrate.... Or whatever.

Seriously, aren't these games supposed to be about everybody coming together, despite our differences? And yet there are so many issues...

I watched some of the opening ceremony at the dentist, since they have TVs in all the rooms. I found it enjoyable, until I was interrupted by the novacane needle digging into the roof of my mouth. :-/ I might watch a few events here and there, but not many.
