Olympic games

Post Reply New Topic

Will you be watching the games? are you interested in watching any particular event?
starts on the 8th August this year.

what do i say? i say GO AUSSIES!

Yes, I will. The Olympic Games are a passion of mine. I will be watching track and gymnastics.

They will be in Bejing, China but for Americans,
NBC will cover little to no Olympic events.

im not watching. because the olympic cards are worth no money than what ive seen

I'll be watching.

I won't be watching. I hate sports.

I'll be trying to beat the scores of the athletes in Mario & Sonic at the olympic games!

I don't really follow da olympics so i will stick 2 da cricket instead.

I will be saving my money to go to London in 2012. I want to meet Roger Bannister, if he is still alive. He will be 83 in 2012. The last time the Olympic Games were in London, in 1948, Bannister was 19 and was selected as an alternate for the 1,500.

Nah, I hate sports, watching it is boring.


Well, then again, the only TV I actually watch is an occasional Mythbusters, and Death Note (I watch Death Note online, though).

They cant find anywhere in SE england interesting enough to host the XC mountain biking
I laugh only in a hollow sense, because this is our cross to bear (and not just for 1 day in 2012)

The international cycling organization say they need a minumum of 300m between the highest and lowest point on the track, with lots of rocks, river crossings etc.. and all this within 'easy reach' of the olympic village I dont think theres anywhere even 300m above sea level in the SE at all, so their basically screwed.

August 8 is also the birthday of Swiss tennis star Roger Federer. He should be selected to carry the flag in the Opening Ceremonies for Switzerland.

I used to be quite passionate about watching the Olympics but am slowly losing my interest in watching them. Since I work in the evenings I'll probably miss watching most of them this year....but it's just as fun to read about what went on in the paper and the internet. I loved it when the Olympics were in Australia and Japan-I could pick up the afternoon paper and read who won what before it was even on TV

I worked for the Olympics and lost whatever liking for them that I had at that time.
