The Olympics...

Is anyone else watching the Olympics? Very different feel without the audience plus, they are cutting out a lot of the competition in gymnastics and not showing all of the girl's performances from other countries. Slightly disappointing but, I am still watching it.....

Big, strong brute wins 4th gold medal at the age of 38; still has enough energy to frolic with his coaches after the match: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SssXorUVnAo

These ancient Greeks are at another level.

No, but I have been watching "16 Days of Glory". Really well done, expertly narrated documentary of the 1984 games. The Japanese judo champ scene had me near tears.

the 10m women's was insane, the 14 year old athlete got all tens !!

the amount of WR and OR this time around has generally been outstanding.

Fucking NBC all over again! I gave up on them after Beijing. NBC has some weird monopolistic coverage of them when there are SO MANY events going on all the channels could cover them.

I haven't tuned in because of the way I fear NBC will cover it.
