Mahalo Medal Count

The Olympics always come by and I’m very disinterested until I leave it on running in the background.  The opening ceremony was spectacular.  It was extremely artistic and as well as a grand display of technology.  Nice work China.

Of the events so far that have been great, swimming has been the greatest to watch.  Michael Phelps’s 400m medley and the 4x100m relay were AWESOME to watch.  When those videos pop up online, if you haven’t watched them, go watch them because you’re missing out on some of the greatest swimming races ever if you haven’t seen them.

Beyond swimming though, gymnastics doesn’t look like it’s going so well for the US unfortunately and I’m not sure who from the USA are going to be in the track and field stuff.  The next week or two should be pretty interesting or very boring if all the excitement was jammed into the first few days.  Oh I’m also looking forward to the basketball stuff too.
