2004 Summer Olympics!!

[DimHalo]

Well, I just finished watching the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympic games in Athens, Greece. I really enjoy the thought behind the olympics although there are really only 2 events I usually watch (gymnastics in the summer, figure skating in the winter). I love the idea of all the different nations coming together in peaceful competition.

Anyone else's thoughts? What do you all watch on the olympics?

That opening ceremony sure was something. The parade of nations is just about to start for me.

I usually only watch Basketball and everything else is just a matter of if I catch it while flipping through channels. Maybe I'll try to catch the long jump or volleyball...do they have volleyball?

Olyimpics aren't all that much fun to watch. I'll watch some hoops, some 100m dash, some soccer, and that's about it. Nothing else intrigues me too much unless NBC tells me that I should be intrigued by it, then I'll pay attention.

I liked the lighting of the torch this year, it was pretty cool..I won't say what it was since some people haven't seen it. It's always different every year. Anyway...I'll be watching practically and Track and Field event. Hurdles more than anything, and Pole Vault. Woo, I love the Olympics.

Im more into the winter olympics myself.

What about Iraq getting the biggest ( i think, aside from greece) ovation at the walk-in or whatever it is.

That reminds me...I like watching the Bobsled, some Skiing events, and Hockey during the Winter Olympics. It's all pretty cool.
