Olympics official thread

So yeah here's a topic to discuss what's going on and what not, I personally will only be watching the basketball portion and hope USA gets gold there but also want USA to get the most medals.

yah all i'm interested in is basketball

maybe the 100m sprint too

I'll watch, look up online how the U.S is doing in untelevized competitions (Soccer) and that's pretty much it.

I normally only watch Basketball and Cross Country/Track

I'll probably just watch boxing and soccer..... Go Britain!

I plan on watching as much as I can. But not Basketball, I would rather watch sports that is not big in North America, or regularly televised.

I watch Gymnastics, Swimming, Diving, Soccer,
and I think thats everything

BEIJING -- Katerina Emmons spoiled China's bid for the first gold medal of the Beijing Olympics on Saturday by winning the 10-meter air rifle for the Czech Republic.

Emmons, the wife of American shooter Matt Emmons, finished with an Olympic record of 503.5 points after shooting a perfect 400 in qualifying. Lioubov Galkina of Russia won the silver and Snjezana Pejcic of Croatia took the bronze.
