The Olympics '04 has begun! What are your opinions on the whole event? Which country(and team/person) are you hoping will win? I know most people here are going to say USA/CAN but w/e. Ive been watching and looking for my country Honduras since they have 5 atheletes in it, but I havn't seen them. And I can't find any sites that help on seeing how well they are doing. Can anyone help me? Also add any other comments concerning the olympics ------------- Spyder E-99 Avant Dye Ultralite '14 Shocktech SuperFly Bolt 32 Degrees on/off dropfoward XSF Advantage Board Trigger Job Halo B Hopper Nitro Dye Rhino Cover |

All I have to say is that NBC's coverage has a history of being
inadequate. It would make so much more sense for all the major networks
to have rights to show the events, so that we could actually see them. With that said, I probably wouldn't watch them anyways, since I don't realy care about most, if any, of the sports. |

The only sports I really pay attention to is hockey and paintball, so considering paintball isn't an olympic sport, and hockey is a winter sport, the olympics do not pertain to me! -------------

I watch the swimming, and the boxing. Nothing more. I hope micheal phelps beats the crap out of the Ian thorpe, and he gets his 7 gold medals. And in boxing i hope to see at least 3 concusions. -------------

if you watched the opening cerimonies yesterday, iraq was there in there first Olympic apperiance in 20 years, Thanks GWB. well i noticed Youm0nt saw the bikes, who would have guessed that. well we've got one gold and one silver on our way to get the most medals i wanna know why hand ball is an Olympic sport and not PB? im lookin forward for the shooting BTW Japan > America in volleyball |
. i find it funny because Russa trains for all four years, there athlets dont have day jobs like the American athletes (not sure about Canada so im not goin to say anything) and they still arnt the best.
