I'm Currently Feeling:  | Olympics Tonight
Anyone planning on watching the olympics - or part of it?
I enjoy watching the Aussies Swim and the Track events
Oh and the gymnastic. All my work mates are crazy sports fans
so it's hard not to get caught up in the buzz of it all. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I will be watching.
I am a black belt in Tae Kwon Do so I will support the US and S Korean teams in TKD and I love gymnastics and was a high school swimmer so I will root USA there too!
I love the Olympics and my DH HATES them so hopefully I will get to see what I like!  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I just watched the opening ceremony too, although i could slap the BBC comentators who seem to think constantly jibing at the chinese policital problems enlightens the viewers. i just want to watch the pretty colours 
Still it was very good and as my OH's a Sensei 2nd Dan in Judo and Black Sash in Gnor Chor Kung Fu (five ancestors) i shall be watching the martial arts sections closley  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I too love the gymnastics so will be watching that and will also watch the diving as the UK have got an amazing lad who's only 14 in. Seen some documentaries on him and he is brilliant. Will also watch some althetics and swimming - will probably catch anything thats on really if theres nothing else to watch. Can't wait till London 2012 olympics when I can go and watch gymnastics live in action for the first time!!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I'm definitely watching the opening cermonies. We have a wedding to go tonight, so I'm Tivoing it (it's not on until 7:30 here). A kid that I went to high school with is diving, so I'll be watching that. His name is Justin Wilcox for anyone that wants to cheer him on. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I love the olympics, but i really don't think i should be watching from an ethical point of view. It's a shame really, because i really would like to, but i can't support it!! |
