Olympics

have been watching the olympics since day 1, everything looks great so far, the opening ceremony is phenomenal, and the sports are great. i support both chinese and us team, so it is good to see that both teams are doing fine and competing back to back...

if i must complain, it is probably the tv coverage here in sf.. we all know nbc got the exclusive broadcast right to the games, but they are showing everyting late. the ceremony was shown 12 hrs late, and for most of the events i saw so far (on the basic nbc channel), they are at least 30mins to 12 hrs later than live. and what makes it ridiculous is that, they still have that "live" watermark on the screen.. so for most of the time, i got the result on the olympics website and then saw the coverage already knowing the outcome...

anyway, so far most the sports are great, the only biggest disappointment is probably china's men soccer team. i dun remember how many times they have hurt their fans, no matter the national team or the olympic team... china has 1.3 billion ppl and it is hard to believe why it is so difficult to find the 11 right ppl to play the sport...

btw, was watching gymastic game and somehow found this old clip.. this is what you call extraordinary....
