Thread: 2008 Olympics

Just saw the guy fly to light the torch. It kicked ass! That should have been the Aug. TOTM, or somthing olympic related...

Olympics bug me. I'm paying attention to Russia.

Wow, I only saw the final minutes of the ceremony this afternoon. That stuff was amazing! Makes me want to try sports or something...

Yeah, I saw it. That shit is crazy, must be a big moment for whoever is involved in making it. But when they went closeup with the green men, it was creepy o_o

What the hell would aliens not think if they saw that?

I only caught glimpses of the cool stuff.. I only had time to watch all the diff countries march, but I guess I'll go online to find all the stuff I missed.

I've been watching swimming and gymnastics so far. I LOVE those sports (only at the Olympics tho ). Can't wait for diving, either.

I hope Phelps gets his 8 gold medals. Would be cool to see history in the making.

I really loved when the Tai Chi practitioners did their thing on the floor. Just the sight of 2008 of them doing what they did, in perfect unison, and forming a perfect circle - with no conductors or floor markings - was incredible.

Yeah i thought the opening ceremony was fantastic. That bit with the compass was the best, where they had those rows of paddles, the scroll in the middle etc. Very artistic. It had the feel of a great piece of music.
