**The Official 2008 Beijing Olympics Thread**
 

Here it is! Your thread to talk about anything and everything 2008 Summer Olympics! (Except politics. Lets please try and keep this strictly to the sporting events)


Looks like Soccer started yesterday officially.

China is 13 hours ahead of Central time. So most of the live coverage will be middle of the night. Alot of NBC's primetime coverage will be tape delayed.

Soccer is teh ghey.

Go human rights abuse!

Bump. Since the games have started today. NBC will cover tape delayed opening ceremonies tonight.

Bump..opening ceremonies are on.

Which day will feature the terrorism event, and which team will win?

This is actually pretty cool. I'd hate to be the country who has to follow this act, though.

Canadia, we expect you guys to spend a billion on your opening ceremony in 2010. Anything less is crap.

Apparently San Diego and Tijuana discussed a joint bid for 2016. It never materialized, but I think a binational Olympics would be awesometastic.

Tijuana??? What event would they host? Muff Diving?

You'd have a lot of entrants in the steeplechase.

wow they must have spent a mint

only once every four years
and i still don't care
I'm not a true patriot

That was pretty ****ing cool for a bunch of commies.

Madagascar: Population, 20 million. Athletes, 6

Marshall Islands: Population, 26000, Athletes, 6

Will they actually start the games tonight?
