Are you going to watch the Olympics?

I'm just watching the opening ceremony right now. It looks spectacular. It would have been really cool to go to Athens, to watch some of the games (especially swimming, since my cousin is competing... lets keep our fingers crossed for him! ) but it's so friggin' expensive and blahhh... Ahh well. I'll be sure to watch the Olympics from TV whenever I have time. How about you?

Happy thoughts,

Ohh, by the way... Did any of you see Björk's performance? I really liked the song.

 

Your cousin takes part in the olympic games? Wow, cool, whats his name?


Beside this, I am not really interested in the games To qoute Winstons Churchill: "No sports"

 

yeah, the Olympics are the greatest sport event of the world, I shall be watching it as much I can.

Hoping for Italy to do better than Britain!

 

Yey the games ​

LET THE GAMES BEGIN​

 

unfortunately i have driving school from 5:30-8:30 so im gonna miss a lot of it

 

Actually, I'm watching women's soccer from the Olympics now. I do enjoy watching the Olympics a lot, but I'm going to miss a large portion of it because I'll be out of the country (and away from the TV) next week. I would've liked to have seen the opening ceremony, but I couldn't watch it because it was on in the middle of the night.

 

Haha, good ol' Winston Churchill.

My cousin's name is Matti Rajakylä. He's a swimmer.

 

And in which competition does he take part?
Will he compete against Michael Phelps? It will be hard.
Let's send the luck for him.

 

Yeah I'm watching...........Go Serbia.....I just love Olimpcys.

 

hehe me too

 

lol what are you favorite disciplines

 

That's the greek way. The stadiums was still not made completely, when the show was about to begin. But as usually, the greeks made it, in the very last minute!

I saw the (not yet finished) stadiums 4 years ago (like pearls on a string, at the right hand of the new-built motor-way we drove at). I had a girlfriend living in Maroussi, which is the northern part of Athens where most of the games takes place.
I have been watching some of the games (like race walking yesterday) -just to see if I can recognize some of the streets of Maroussi.

love,
noose.

950 euro?! What a democratic price! hmm.

Good to see you at the hipforums again, marywasaperv. In which part of Athens do you live, if I may ask?

love,

Well, it was the opening ceremony..

I live in Elliniko, it's next to Glyfada, near the beach, where kanoe-kayak takes place. It's not close to Maroussi, but.. have you been here?

 

Yeah...Of course I am watching....Specialy basketball........LAst day we won very hard match against very strong and very famous dream team....I mean America.........It was really nice match...very beautiful game...Both teams were strong...so game was really great......And after games I was in the street and people were really enjoying this narrow victory agains USA, maybe they remembered last Olimpic games when we lost.......or maybe because, like many people says In Lithuania second religion is BASKETBALL.....And I think it's truth, cause I really love basketball....
And after basketball match All Lithuanians were more happy, cause we also got our fist silver medal......
So last day was fantastic!!!!!!!

 

On the other hand our basketball team sucks this year.......but I still love the cause they'r the best.......Yeah go Serbia &Montenegro

 

We just won a silver medal in mens discus throw....LAst olimpic games it was the gold medal, but I think that All Lithuanians should be proud and about this prize it's not so bad, by the way it's secdond prize in the world....so it's great!!!!
I love Olimpic games...for very important reason.....I know that not many people knows us, so it's an opportunity to show that we aren't so small country, that we have some really good athletes....!!!

 

Of course i'm going to watch the Olympics. On my TV, or maybe on someone else's TV...
