So who is watching the games? I've been watching some. The opening event was very kewl.

Watching the US and China basket ball game right now. Hard to believe it's already been 4 years. Time is flying.

Maybe smash is French slang for "beaten by"

I think I've watched more of the games already this year than I did in 2004. Really enjoying the events. :)

My wife and I are watching all we can.  We like the swimming events since both our kids swam in high school and college.  The gymnastics competition is always fun too. 

I'll never forget Kerry Struggs in the 2000 Olympics, when she did the vault with a broken ankle, sticking the landing on one foot.  That was the most courageous thing I've even seen in amatuer sports.

I also like the women's softball.  Tam USA is really great and will be tough to beat.
