To be honest the Olympics is joke. To many athletes out there doing funny business to make it far from a fair competition.

I shall be only watching the football and boxing.

They tested the fireworks last night.

Its only took them 3 years to plan them for the opening and closing ceremonies.

I'll probably watch football and I hope that I'll manage to watch nearly every game 'cos the time zone in China and in Thailand isn't too different. Maybe some random sports like figure skating or something. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I won't be watching this, I am really anti-China tbh.

I will only be watching at the end when it gets passed over to Britain.

Merged.

I have to say the ceremony was decent, but I found it very boring. The only entertaining part was when all the countries were coming out.

I admit, when, I saw the lights at the start I thought Ben Laden was there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) .

I thought the opening ceremony was pretty good. I can't say it was very entertaining but it certainly was impressive. The drums at the very beginning were awesome, as was the cube wave thingy. Not a big fan of how they lit the torch though. I though Athens was much better lighting the torch. the globe rising out of the floor was impressive also

The olympics is good entertainment but China will end up winning it, and the only reason for this is because they train the contenders really thouroughly because their obsessed with honour. In some cases they have taken children from the age of 3 off their parents so they can train for the olympics. If you ask me that is as bad as them taking drugs because it's not natural.
