2004 Olymipics ! The Greatest show on earth.

[bart]

Well here goes unsure if this thread has started already.
However the opening show was truly amazing. It was just as good as the one Sydney did 4 years ago. It was so good I had to watch it twice apart from the Athlets coming in...

[labell]

pfft. Im going to kill the tv, because guess what, it never will tell me when the olymipic stuff comes on. If i miss the equestrian games i swear to god, imma blow up the tv :rolleyes: :lol:

[Juliana]

It was amazing!
It was like magic, everything so perfect! I love it!

[Alessa]

i visited that stadium in 2002... it's sooooooo huge!
i wish i could be there again!
bjork was amazing too (i love her...) :smug:

[bart]

I watched the beach Volley ball on me Sky Interactive yesterday ! emm
***drooled at thoses Aussie women. And the music between points was great.
The people of Athens must be so happy right now. !

[girlstar]

The womens beach volleyball gets boring really quickly I reckon. At least our girls won though. Gosh, not many people are interested in the Olympics this time round are they? :stunned: Maybe it's just for us sports lovers. :P

[ladylike]

I think the cameramen scan the girls lower half on purpose I swear! They could at least get them to wear boylegs. :o

That table tennis player from SA is soooooooooooo cute. William Henzell, when I find a good pic I'll post it.

[::Hayley::]

I wouldn't say the Olympics is the greatest show on earth.

To be honest I like watching the swimming and synchronized diving, it's just ridiculous that TV has nothing else to show other than the Olympics - have BBC1 and BBC2 nothing better to do than take up two channels?
Not everyone is interested!
Frankly, I miss Neighbours :lol:

[ladylike]

I would rather go to the royal show than watch the olympics 24/7, then I would get the greatest showBAG on earth, Julia might know what I'm talking about ;)

Ok here's that cute guy... He's only 22! Yay!

Olympic games are cool if you're 70 years old and you have absolutely nothing to do so you stay up till 5am watching two japaneses playing the ping pong finals.

Some events are cool though, like, tennis, swimming and volleyball.

[ladylike]

I HATE tennis, sorry but I don't get the rules and I had lessons a few years ago and it was boring...

[kalter zug]

you don't get the rules :thinking:
hmm it's not rugby or cricket :rolleyes: :P

[ladylike]

Oh yeah, I don't like those two sports either, but I do get what you mean how we are peceived to be sport mad, that's not all true

[kalter zug]

no no no i referred to the rules, being much harder than the ones in tennis..nothing to do with the aussie's athletic spirit :P

[ladylike]

I see, sorry I took offense ;)

[MAFE]

what rules?

[pharynx]

GOOO FINLAND!!! no medals yet, and we'll be not getting any, i'm quite positive of that :smug:

[Sternly]

WOW! I hadn't seen this thread before!



(by the way, I have no clue how cricket is played - and I play for the Cricket Club :lol: - so ...... so, it was just a mention (I don't understand either how some team... I was watching NZ v/s India, I think, and they won for like 300 20 or something like that....... the difference was huge! :stunned: )

I like Tennis....... especially xcause we are doing fine :D also swimming very much, but probably you all know that already, and gymnastic..... and I was watching Stevlana Khorkina and she looks a bit too thin ..... well it just amazed me how she can do what she did, and stand up with those legs http://members.aol.com/Janetgym/sveta3.jpg
She doesn-t look thin there, but she really is and......... well, what can I say_ I just love them, though in my country sport is regarded as something you do for funa nd only If you are bored..... :dozey:

[Bijeli_Miš]

Gooo Croatia!!!
First medal today. :)
Nikolaj Pašalov-bronze

[girlstar]

Cricket is the most boring sport in the world. No, change that..in the HISTORY of the world...that being any sport that has ever been played.
Maybe I'm the only one who likes watching the olympics! Except for- Ping Ping (boring) Badminton (more boring) and rowing and horseriding. Oh and shooting. And baseball. Uhh..actually I can see where people are coming from now. :lol: But I love watching the swimming (go Thorpey!) basketball, volleyball and tennis. And everything else is good to watch as well.

It's kind of sad how many people are at the Olympics. There's hardly anyone in the crowds. I thought Sydney in 2000 was much better. :smug: :P

Can you believe we USA lost to Argentina in basketball? The sad thing was I was routing for Argentina at the end. I heard one of their players is going to be on the bulls.

I loved watching the gymnastics and the swimming was great too.
