The best of the games - Beijing 2008

Last night, I couldn't take my eyes off the TV. It’s women’s softball gold medal match - Japan vs. USA. And, we, Japan team won the gold medal! The first time on softball. We kept losing against the US team, but finally we did win. The most exciting games on this Olympics so far are: Swimming - we g...

Olympian depths

The Olympics will soon be over except for the last virtual fireworks display. Thank goodness. Oh, I'm not saying I don't enjoy parts of it. Will thrill to close finishes, gallant failures, great achievements, along with everyone else. But Australian television coverage has become Americanised, in...

The Olympics are now in full swing, what event(s) are you looking forward to watching the most? Athletics! In the words of the inimitable Balki Bartokamous: "people running and jumping and throwing things."

Over It .... Maybe

I haven't quite decided whether I'm over the hooplah of the Olympics, or not. The swimming holds little interest for me, other than watching the 1500 metres final. I like watching weightlifting, but rarely find any of it being telecast. Ditto with some of the gymnastics and the hurling events in...

What will they have at the London Olympics?

At the Seoul Olympics, they started with a guy hitting a gong (the Olympics were a J. Arthur Rank production) and showed off Korean history. At the Beijing Olympics, they showed off Chinese history, just not the stuff the Communists did after 1949, like tanks running over students. Dad asked what...

The Olympics are now in full swing, what event(s) are you looking forward to watching the most? I may have to turn in my man card here, but I do enjoy the women's gymnastics. However, I'm going to keep it because the beach volleyball is also one of my favorite sports to watch. Other favorites (and...

Culture QotW: The Olypmic Games

The Olympics are now in full swing, what event(s) are you looking forward to watching the most? I usually like the woman's gymnastics and the diving events - however I wont catch either. I'm terrible at catching shows on TV which is why I've resorted to buying all of my favorite shows on DVD.

Culture QotW: The Olympic Games

The Olympics are now in full swing, what event(s) are you looking forward to watching the most? Indonesia always lost and almost never brought home gold medals, so I am not interested to watch it :) I'm not interested in sports generally. Maybe just the opening and the closing ceremonies. I missed...

The Olympics are now in full swing, what event(s) are you looking forward to watching the most? Rowing Archery Fencing Tae Kwon Do All because they were ones I once participated in. And for a guilty pleasure: Men's diving and swimming. But I will pretty much watch everything except basketball.

I'd have to say the best thing I've seen...

Wow, a fly-over of Beijing’s Olympic sites and there’s no pollution! Sadly, this is just the virtual world, courtesy Google Maps. Featured at Lucire.

What?!! No Motorsports?!!!

By any other definition, the four-yearly global contest in sport can only be described as adversarial battle between nation-states, some of whom would dearly love to have at each other with real weapons of destruction. I'm aging, and I'm jaundiced, and I'm definitely NOT a sports fanatic. If it...

2008 Beijing Olympics

As everyone knows, today, the 8th of August [in Chinese culture, 888 is a lucky number and 08/08 is also father's day], was the official start of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The opening was absolutely stunning! It was amazing to watch...I actually cried at one point. XD When the countries of the...

Beijing 2008 Olympic Games

The live telecast of the opening ceremony reminds me of these five pin badge which I bought at PEK last year. Many factories are forced to stop their operation in China now. There're many regulations for transportation inside China and at sea ports as well. My friend, who is running a trading house...
