HUGE SPOILERS BELOW:

I don't keep up with the medals at all! I just watch the opening . I felt so bad when I learned the U.S.A outfits were made in China. I mean I love China, but atleast those should be made in America.

I love the independent players! I loved the way they danced down!

Congratulations to the S.A teams! I am not sure about U.s. medals. There are soooo many channels covering I am mighty confused!

They really did a good job of it, but I felt that the whole hospital bit was a bit off. Unrelated a bit??? Sorry about me sounding rude possibly. It was beautiful and I LOVE the Harry Potter series, but it was kinda changing subjectey...

My dad started crying when he saw James Bond after so long, and Paul's performance. I love how sporting the Queen was!

I am not big with the medals either. I think in the last Olympics we only had one Silver medal.
Clos beat Phelps, it was the closest most exciting finish. Phelps glided when Clos took a long stroke, and touched first. Clos 1.52.96 and Phelps 1.53.21

I enjoyed the opening ceremony, bits a pieces not my favourite, reckon they can't please everyone......

AWWW

Phelps was my favorite, he is probably the only olympian I know...and the basketball peoples, watching fencing now (I really need to start on my project...it can wait until tommorow.well I said that yesterday too)

 

[antoinette]

It was the most touching medal ceremony, Clos was in tears, when the S.A. anthem was playing. His parents, so happy and proud, could not contain themselves.
Phelps was always Clos' hero.
Clos dream was just to compete against Phelps, never ever thinking he would beat his hero.

I enjoy watching swimming, diving, athletics and gymnastics.

When bored, judo, weight lifting, and rowing.

I seem to like backetball and beach volleyball, for one I understand the rules and for two they keep me on edge screaming USA!USA!USA! As Sarah screams AHHH!!! AHHH!!! and dances...she out does me

 

[antoinette]
