Diving and Tennis bitches. I wanna see some kickass dives and at least one person hit the board, but if they're in the olympics, I doubt they will. tongue.gif
Gigi
Diving, swimming, gymnastics. But I'm looking most forward to diving. It's my favourite. My mom and I make a game out of making fun of the crappy non-Chinese divers who make huge splashes. AZNPRYDE YEAH.

Guo Jingjing is pretty (and a HELL of a diver), and so is her boyfriend Tian Liang. (ex? I can't remember).
Joanne

oh heyyyyyy he was my favorite 4 years ago wub.gif
and i liked this one gymnastics girl, i forgot her name...
Gigi
I just saw this spread of Michael Phelps in People Magazine. Holy crap, is he ever ugly. And full of himself.

The Olympics start on August 8 (8th month, 8th day, 2008) and end on the 24th, since the number 8 is considered lucky.
Joanne
^ Haha, so Chinese. xD
shoryuken

Swimming, gymnastics, badminton.
And diving, maybe.
berrypop90
I only ever watch gymnastics and diving.
superstitious
Judo. I watch as many as I can. I wish I could find a printable schedule. :(
Gigi
Who watched the Opening Ceremony?

FCUKING AWESOME.
Joanne
Ugh, I had a plan to wake up at 5 in the morning to watch it live EXCEPT MY ALARM CLOCK DIDN'T WAKE ME UP!!!! So I woke up when I heard my sister asked my mom why she didn't wake us up at 7.

Dammit. I guess I'll have to wait for the rerun later today. = =''
Joanne
Holy freaking hell. How do you top THAT?!
angelrevelation
I just saw the opening ceremony... Very beautiful _smile.gif I totally wish I could have seen it in person!
nikx618
^double that.

it's amazing. but its too long for me. haha.
Joanne
Favourite part(s) of the entire ceremony?

For me, it's got to be the printing part! It was pretty flipping incredible...
towntown2
I'm watching it right now.
Palestinians are making their way around the track right now.
Melie
i'll be watching the gymnastics, basketball and maybe swimming


but i'm so pissed about how the opening ceremony isn't being broadcast on youtube or on the nbc website.
hollywoodawaits
Im excited!

I want Tom Daley to win his diving event, even though im from the US. he's pretty cute 2. lol
Teesa
wow, great job nbc for delaying coverage and then (at least for colorado people) having major blackout problems.

anyhoo, caught almost all of it-AH-MAZING! the guys with the drums were unbelievable. some of the countries had horrible outfits (i think it was hungary who had the women in those ridiculous flowered outfits), but some looked quite classy =)
Joanne
^ Horrible outfits: CANADA!

What the hell???? = =''
Teesa
haha for sure!

Flaunted
HOOOOOOOOLY CRAP, the next olympics, whereever it may be.. i doubt they can ever top that.

Chicity has no chance laugh.gif
Joanne
^ Winter Olympics in Vancouver, BC. =(
Tung
You know Kobe Bryant had the loudest ovation. That's amazing. He got more cheers than the Chinese President, the Russian, and George Bush. The moment was so odd that even U.S. journalists were looking at each other in puzzlement.

Oh, and I was watching the Girls Gymnastic training earlier, and the girls were hot! I have white fever. blush.gif

And oh, I'm watching badminton too since it's my favorite sport. And this Japanese chick literally broke this Iceland chick so she had to forfeit haha. Then I watched this Indonesian chick beat this German chick. It was a hella good match. Went down to the very last point.
towntown2
WOW!
OMG!
That was so amazing.
The torch runner? The last torch runner?
Incredible!!

London's gonna have to work really hard to top this.
datass
as a chinese, i didnt watch it.
Joanne

Hm, I should look for the full schedule of the events...
datass

yea agreed they look like a bunch of red cherry blossoms lol. the US' outfits were nice but too bland to stand out from the whole, i did like the barretts though.i think i like the swedish womans outfit, it was simple and modern.
pandemonium

i liked how the torch was lighten at the end with the runner...
