The Olympics

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.
