pam Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 The whole dance thing while writing on the scroll was amazing too. Truly amazing dancers. I sure hope I can get this on dvd when all said and done. I would love to see it all again. It really was one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen or probably will ever see.

Misshalfway Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I am feeling sad for the the Hamm brothers! Another one bites the dust! But looks like Sasha (replacement) is doing pretty good on the pommel horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over43 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I have been noticing the female swimmers are built like the male swimmers. I remember Mark Spitz, these ladies are no Mark Spitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'm glad to see that the men's swimming attire has changed. Not the speedos of in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over43 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'm glad to see that the men's swimming attire has changed. Not the speedos of in the past.I have a Speedo. Just "trunks" though, not the whatever those things are called that they wear on the beach in France. But it's always fun to say, "sure, I'll bring my Speedo!"O43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always seen to miss eventing. I don't think they really show those during their coverage. Which is a shame. It's really fun to watch.

BenRaines Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Go to nbcolympics.com and you can watch over 2,000 hours of Olympic coverage. Most not seen on tv. Ben Raines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Does it have the opening ceremony? I really would like to see parts of that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningStar Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hahaha. You know I used to have a huge crush on Mary Lou. That tells you how old I am I suppose. I used to imitate Mary Lou. (Back in my gymnastics days) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WANDERER Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Ugh *bites fingernails*I can hardly bear to watch.......swimming is not what it used to be. Still, a couple of good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarginOfError Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I used to love watching the women's gymnastics. Then I turned 18 and felt like a pedophile. Now, I've graduated to beach volleyball. What a great sport! Men's basketball sure looked good. And the US soccer team managed a tie. And holy crap men's 4x100 Freestyle. I'm still in shock.

Truegrits Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 And holy crap men's 4x100 Freestyle. I'm still in shock. That would probably sum up how the French swimmers felt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palerider Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 That would probably sum up how the French swimmers felt... Ditto to that.....its always easy to talk the talk.....but then you have to walk the walk.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarginOfError Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 And it just always feels so good to stick it to the French. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really fun to watch.It's even more fun to ride it :) Yeah they never have given it very good coverage, but I hear you can watch all of it on their website. They already did Cross Country, so Stadium Jumping is probably today or tomorrow, I hope they show that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
