Olympic Progress

So how do you think the Olympics are turning out????? Here's what jumps out at me.....
~
Michael Phelps can freaking swim.
~
No way are the Chinese Women Gynnasts 16 years old.
~
Bela Karoli, the Romanian who runs the US Women's Gymnast program, is just a little over the top.
~
The Chinese really overdid the opening ceremony and lost it with the lipsynching kid.
~
The Water Cube is very cool architecture.
~
As much as I am fond of President Bush, he should get his ass back to Washington.
~
Synchronized diving gives me the creeps.
~
Alicia Sacramone, from Winchester, MA, on the Women's Gymnastic team is very, very cute.
~
The NBA Basketball players seem out of place.
~
Women Gymnasts are better looking than Women Swimmers, but the US Women's Beach Volleyball Team is by far the hottest.
~
Dara Torres, the 41 year old Californian Mother, is the most incredible swimmer at the games.... Phelps included.

It's been interesting so far, but the real deal for me begins with the Track and Field events. Shalene Flanagan from Marblehead is running the 10,000 meters. I've followed her career a little and have seen her running in Town here, and it will be interesting to see if she can get into the Final and be competitive at this level.
