Olympic Games Beijing 2008

[Praxil]

Games of the XXIX Olympiad.

Anyway, personally looking forward for 100 m finals, can't wait for it. I hope for a new world records and it looks like that might actually happen. Usain Bolt holds men's record 9.72, he did that on 31 May 2008. Also looking forward to see finals of 200 m and 400 m. 4x100 m and 400 m relays are also nice, but usually teams don't know how to pass the damn thing, so it looks terrible. Swimming no doubt, sharks in the water. Basketball, definitely following all teams and all players, hoping for intense and clean basketball. Maybe United States will win this time, Argentina won in Greece. Football of course, but Clubs (I mean money) messed that all up by not allowing players to represent their national teams. What else, will be looking tennis too.

Alright, looking good, I'm hoping for good and fair competition out there. Hope they nail all the doping users.

I'm looking forward to the Taekwondo matches, first and foremost. After that, probably basketball.

I'll watch the cycling and that is probably it.

It will be nice being in the right timezone this time around.

Not watching any of it.

Waiting for the reintroduction of MMA into the olympic's. Till then the dive and gymnastic competitions will have to do.

Gah, I actually had plans of going back to China and attend the Olympics since the stadiums are actually quite close to my old home in Beijing, but alas, way too much stuff to do here and could never make up the time lost going back.

I'm actually in China right now, but because my home city is like a bajillion miles from Beijing (only 2 hours to Shanghai though), I won't be seeing it there

Still, I got like five channels constantly broadcasting Olympic news so I will watch some of it... (table tennis ftw! )

What was wrong with the games in Sydney? :p

[Caius]

Football ftw.

[naut]

Football ftw.

I would watch the game of the gods football, but this is Australia. They'll only show stuff Aussies are in. Boring!

All we'll get is the swimming. :yawn:

As I typed what I did I realised that, then I thought "no one will bother correcting me on it"...

Clearly I was mistaken

[LittleGrizzly]

Ill look out for the football, usually intrested in the sprinting events, apart from that only desperation and boredom can encourage me to watch the rest...

[Ronin]

it will be interesting to see if any of the marathon runners keel over halfway through from all the pollution...
