olympics beijing 2008

the olympics-- are you watching? are you boycotting?
if you're watching, what's your favorite sport to watch? any predictions for medals?

i found out that i know 2 people at the olympics-- the goalkeep from the women's hockey team a triathlete. both were in my class at high school. i'm a bit proud

on my list to watch are swimming, diving, athletics, boxing, the martial arts sports and football. and everything else that's on and catches my eye of course.. maybe even synchronized swimming

Sorry Frieda, I should have posted that under 'random' or
'mo's posts'... That is so cool that two of your high school classmates are there! What is the probability of that?!!
I am definitely going to watch the diving and martial arts....
Did anyone see the Tai Chi performed in the opening ceremony? It was so awesome, I can't get over how beautiful tit was...

no it's fine mojo

i didn't see the opening, i was at work and i forgot to watch it when they repeated it on tv i saw bits of some people "painting" in sand, and people walking on an enormous globe, that looked amazing!

oh and i know about my classmates, it's amazing isn't it? i knew about the girl, she's been on the dutch hockey team for ages.. but the triathlete, he qualified for the first time this year. i remember he was always busy training and everything, swimming ridiculous distances in open water.. and i was just smoking my ciggies behind the school

My favourite ones are those connected with water: swimming, rowing, canoe, kayak, water polo - naturally I keep my fingers crossed for the Hungarian team.

As I'm still lying in bed with nothing to do I find myself watching pretty much everything, for example cycling, gymnastics and judo. My complete lack of knowledge about the rules of the latter doesn't prevent me from getting all excited about it.

The reporters use all these special words I've never heard (in my mother tongue!) - I feel enthralled and mystified; a little bit a child again when I didn't understand the majority of events going on around me.
