Beijing 2008 - Jack - 08-09-2008
Anybody catch the opening ceremonies? That thing with the blocks replicating waves rippling in a pond was amazing.
Tried to watch Judo last night but fell asleep.

I saw like 10 mins of the opening ceremony. That's all.

I saw the block waves, China coming in, and the lighting of the flame. That guy running on that wall like fifty million feet high thing rocked so hard!

USA just crushed Japan in the face in Volleyball.

I reckon the Aussie's will dominate the swimming department.

Never thought I'd say it, but this volleyball is pretty intense.

Apparantly USA hasn't won a gold medal in volleyball in 16 years.
And I agree. This is ridiculous. They are insanely talented. Like robots. From Japan.

For Olympic talk, my AIM is Rebinator =o

For the record, I also like beach volleyball.
But for very, very different reasons.
Beijing 2008 - Alura - 08-09-2008
I like the USA has a Japanese-looking coach

USA > Japan

Wait, how many sets are they doing? I was under the impression it was best 2 out of 3

=D
But you're totally right about their talent. I'd say that I could do better, but then I'd just get smashed in the face by a spike.
And lose any dignity and pride I might have had.

Is there anywhere online to view this stuff? I have a feeling that NBC will only show events USA is in, and I want to see ALL of it
Beijing 2008 - Jesper - 08-09-2008
Direct TV has some all-Olympic channels. Don't know otherwise.
EDIT: And I think the team that wins three sets first wins.
Beijing 2008 - Celena - 08-09-2008
Ah crap. I missed the weighlifting. I'll watch the heighlights.
Beijing 2008 - Alura - 08-09-2008
Oh, so 3 out of 5? Okay.
And damn. I have brighthouse.
