man this is awesome!
Opening ceremony just finished.
Those drummers were intense!
GO FRANCE!!
Are you watching a repeat?!
Am I?
Considering that the ceremony began at 12:08pm GMT (and ended around 5pm), probably.
Well, I guess I missed it live, but it is still just as good now.
Yes, it was awesome indeed. I was just watching a repeat too :)
The moving blocks are pretty cool
Wait until you get to the end :)
I have shallow breath already...
*Shaking as he attempts to post*
The commentary on German TV was critical, but still appreciative
I find it funny that the commentators are talking about China prmoting Harmony, and not mentioning it comes from the barrel of a gun over there.
What I find funny is they speak like they know what they're talking about. As if they know everything about China... ugg... SHUT UP!
The technology is AMAZING!
It seems the first day of competitions is already starting in a few minutes. phew, 3am here...

3AM for you!
9PM here
I guess you're getting it time-shifted to viewer-friendly times.
There's dressage riding competition on now, live.
whats a dressage riding contest?!?!?
Cool. During the ceremony, they just finished the glowing, alien men. Pretty cool. They were talking about how each performer is unique. That's 15000 people!
If this was done in America, it would be Rolling Stones...thats it
Aren't they British? ;)
True, but America is obsessed with them.
Superbowl halftime, plus many others are among many Stones shows
What networks/channels are covering the Olympics? I'm sitting here at 9pm my time and I can't even find the word "Olympic" on a search using my DVR.
NBC should be covering it. My NBC is broadcasting with a slight buzz and snow. Which really, really sucks. I was getting a headache while watching the woman's volleyball, but I persevered!
Yeah, I found it this morning. America swept the women's fencing competition. Now they're covering the bike race...zzzzzzzzzz.
Luckily for me the NBC affiliate got it's stuff together.
And I could watch Woman's Beach Volleyball all day long!
I heard that the Chinese are trying to prove that they are superior to the US by winning more gold medals, so they are getting really strong athletes in obscure sports that the US doesn't care about, to pick up thier gold count.
I find that pretty funny.

This is incorrect sir. It saddens me to see vicious rumors such as this being spread about the Chinese people. Can you please tell me who told you this? I have some friends who would like to speak with this person, just so that we can clear up any misunderstandings.
I'm watching the US vs China basketball game. The Chinese are looking pretty decent.

It's all over the news. If you flip on any American Sports channel, if they talk about the Olympics, this topic usually arises.
Way off topic...but Thunderbolt Kid, I just finished your funny biography on cd. AWESOME!
-back on topic-
Olympics! Olympics! Olympics! Olympics! Olympics!

Why do Americans insist on disparaging the Chinese people? What have we ever done to you?
*sniff*
We just want to be loved. Is that so wrong?

I regret to inform you that Senior Chinese Minister Yan will no longer be able to provide commentary on these messageboards. Due to a distressed mental condition, he has been retired to a convalescent home in un undisclosed province.
