    I'm an Olympicaholic! Anything and everything (well, maybe not synchonized swimming or ballromm dancing) that is an Olympic event will be watched by me! Most of all, I am a huge Track and field man. I was a hurdler in high school, so those events get top priority!

    I'm an Australian. The scoop is:-

    We're gonna kick you ass back to the USA. Bring it on!

    Actually, living in America, I will be intrigued see just how many stereotypes NBC can propogate in their Olympic coverage.

    Well I must say (beside the little glitch) that the torch lighting was pretty cool.

    The opening ceremony was pretty weird...

    And the Aussies lost the womens triathlon! Should've been a 1-2-3 in that!

    Interesting to see how well Thorpe swims tonight! Plus the 100 meters womens butterfly should be a great swim!

    That was an amazing opening ceremony! Loved the unified Korea thing, and the torch flaming was an awesome site.

    I can't wait for baseball coverage. The Cubans are great, and I want a chance to see that SS. I think the minor leaguers will be able to bring in the gold.

    Dream Team is boring...It would be better to see the Lakers play.

    I watch women's gymnastics, but I don't know why tall girls get so low of scores for similar routines.

    Not much for boxing, but I will watch the wrestling.

    I will watch V-ball also.
