I’ve been greatly enjoying the Olympics. Some thoughts.
- The Chinese are doing a spectacular job. Still an authoritarian, politically repressive country. But give ’em credit for putting on a great show for the world.
- I like NBC’s coverage. They’re showing lots of different sports, rather than obsessing over the popular gymnastics like they’ve done in the past.
- Still waiting to see table tennis.
- Usain Bolt is pretty amazing.
- Watched some of USA Basketball’s trouncing of Spain on Saturday, but that’s all I’ve seen. Thirsty for more.
- Really enjoying women’s beach volleyball. Walsh and Traynor are cruising.
- The trampoline is boring.
- When’s synchronized swimming?
- Team handball is a really strange sport.
- I like the version of “The Star Spangled Banner” recorded for Olympics medal ceremonies.
- Haven’t seen any boxing yet. I assume it’s going on.
- Saw some trap-shooting last week, and found it interesting.
- Watching while on the treadmill at the YMCA makes time fly.
