I loved the Queen with James Bond bit, especially the corgis looking like "Why can't we come along?"

As for events, I will watch swimming, gymnastics, archery, fencing, rowing, equestrian and some track and field. I got to go to the equestrian event in 1984 so it's still a favorite.

What I always wonder about is this - what happens to the North Korean teams that fail to win any medals?
Are they executed upon arrival, or locked up, or simply told they should pretend they won to fool the rest?

Wouldn't it be best for those of 'em with any nous to flee and demand political asylum? I wouldn't turn down a request from them.

No, I'm not watching. I don't like sport, and everytime I'm anywhere near anything "2012 olympics" related, I feel like I'm being brainwashed. It gives me a creepy feeling, seriously. o_o

Yes, I'm watching. Moreso from Friday, when the athletics starts.

I enjoyed the opening ceremony, switched off when Paul McCartney came on, so I don't know what happened after that.

My otter beats everyone at the swimming.

Anyway, I like the Olympics. I haven't been able to watch any today, but I will catch up tomorrow.

I actually find the athletics the least exciting part, which is odd because everyone who watches it seems to tune in for that.

I love watching the Olympics.

Just today, I watched the men's road race with my family.
It was very exciting to watch.

We three are also having our fingers crossed that Seattle may be awarded the
2020 or 2024 Summer Olympics, if Seattle goes forward with a bid.

I thought it was tacky and juvenile, like most of the rest of the ceremony.
The fireworks were ok though.

Golf will be introduced to the Olympics in 2016. No joke!

The best parts of the Summer Olympics are swimming, beach volleyball, and track and field. I enjoy watching those events.

I don't get NBC but I'm hoping some country will put out a DVD with the equestrian events after it's over. Back in 1984 when ABC had the rights they put out an equestrian events tape from the Los Angeles olympics that was pretty good.

At least there is something good on television that I can watch. So yeah I'm defiantly watching the Olympics.

I'll be glad when the Olympics are finished; as far as I'm concerned it is just a waste of TV channels. I have zero interest in watching sports.
