The second best is probably the accidents and mistakes.

The event I am looking forward to most will be the shortest event of the Olympics: Mens 100m Sprint Final… over in 10 seconds!

Would have to be the swimming, because we’re good at it.

And the Water Cube looks awesome. Why couldn’t we have got some fine looking stadiums out of the Sydney Olympics. The Water Cube is designed by Australians!

Love the look of the Bird Nest Stadium.

what don’t you like? the hype? sport in general? the opening and closing ceremony? the stupid questions from commentators to athletes who have just won a gold medal??

That pretty much covers it :)

hey michelle – that’s nuts with the water quality!! mind you – i’d be happy to lose 20% of my body weight…

rodeo clown – bah humbug! what don’t you like? the hype? sport in general? the opening and closing ceremony? the stupid questions from commentators to athletes who have just won a gold medal??

my fav sport is obviously the soccer.
but i like the handball – it was very cool live in sydney.
i really like the ahtletics events – but probably like the swimming marginally better because we have a better chance of dominating in the pool than on land.

Sailing. Not that it’ll be televised unless we look likely to win – and even then it’ll just be ‘highlights’. The final women’s 470 race at the 2000 games was one of the most exciting sports events I’ve ever watched.

Hope they got rid of that algae! Although, even then … one of the 470 sailors swallowed a mouthful of water at the test event and got so sick that she lost 20% of her body weight (she only weighs 50kg!). From one mouthful of water! Praise God for the clean waters we enjoy here!
