Love the olympics. International conflicts and sport rolled into one...
Back in the days of boycotts, defections and hostage taking maybe but all the fun is gone now.Quote:

Apparently the US Olympic committee have warned all athletes to tone down celebrations and to refrain from over use of the US flag...Quote:

I dont really like all the running and swimming its a bit drab. Same goes for the bike races and rowing. I suppose we can all look at the athletes' eyes and play "spot the druggie" but thats not the point of it all. Is there tennis at the Olympics ? If there is then it might be worth watching the Russians but apart from that its far behind the World Cup and even European Championships in terms of interest at a sporting event for me.
