I kinda watched the opening ceremonies (I was in and out of the room), but what I saw, I thought it was well done. Truth be told, this is one of my favorite couple of weeks EVER (well, every four years). Hailing from an athletic background, I love it all but find myself most intrugued by the gymnastics because of the RIDICULOUS then those athletes are able to do. (Case and point: I saw a guy last night do a push-up and the only thing touching the floor were his hands - WHAT?!?!?) I also love beach volleyball because I think it is one of the most exciting games because of how quickly the game and change and how quickly you can lose. Rugby fascinates me and Water Polo is the sport where, I feel I may have missed my calling *sigh*. And of course there is track which I think they should have a "normal" person perform each event so we can use it as a gauge of just how fast these folks are. THAT IS ALL!
