Anyone else excited to watch the Olympics???

I enjoy watching a lot of events–speed skating, bobsleds, snowboarding (Go Shaun White!), downhill skiing, figure skating to name a few. Sure is a hell of a lot better than the “reality” shows on TV !!

:D
So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream

    i have little faith but i am hoping we'll actually get to see a bunch of events (live as much as possible) instead of watching human interest stories and a boat load of commercials ... or the ever dreaded tape delay to satisfy sponsors ... bugs the shit out of me ...

    I'm a sucker for international sport - can't wait to see how many medals my beloved Kiwis don't win, yet again :(
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    I absolutely loooooove the Olympics....I love sports in general, but it's so cool to see ones that I can't see often, or ones that I don't know much about. I love the international competition...and I love that i tear up EVERY time i watch a medal ceremony :-)
    Need a tour Travel Agent??? Pick me :-)

    I'll watch the hockey. I like a lot of the skiing events, especially the ski jumping. The first Olympics I remember are the 1988 games in Calgary when Brian Leetch was on team USA.

    One thing I hate about the Olympics? The TV coverage is awful. NBC turns it into a tape delayed glorified Figure Skating competition :thumbdown:

    I think Canada should be putting Mr. Luongo between the posts. Marty has been in a death spiral over the last few weeks.
