    That was handball. And so far the best was the 4x100 relay for swimming.

    its funny but only 15% of the world watches the olympics, thought that was a interesting fact i heard today. I like watching the wrestling, since i will b in the American trails in the next 4 years, wish me luck.

    Heh! Interesting. I seem to recall him... particularly from the pommel horse. Cool to watch.

    Women's team gymnastics was just as amazing. And who can forget the 4x200m freestyle swimming relay... utterly shattered the world record there.

    The first two hours of the opening ceremony were live here, which was nice. By the time the ads started screening it was about 2 am, and that's coverage started to get delayed. Bad timing really since that was during the hour-long procession of athletes into the stadium, and breaking that up with ads makes things super boring. If I'd had something to do the next morning I'd have gone to bed right then.

    This is probably why I'm single. I'm a sporty geek. There just aren't a lot of me out there.
