After having some medical problems, I think watching the Olympics is not holding my interest that much anymore. Just wondered how you feel about it? I know some of you have been working and not able to view it as much, as some who were able to view it more, but I am glad it is the last day, and probably soon will be forgotten with all the other ideas going on in the USA.

I've really enjoyed it. Haven't seen as much of it as I would have liked.

I've really enjoyed it but the commercials sure irritate...takes
three hours to watch an hours worth so I'm off and on and watching
as I can handle.

We're spoiled over here, 'cos it's all on the BBC, no ads. They set up loads of channels on the 'red button' too, so you could watch pretty much any sport all day if you wanted. The coverage has been superb.

I enjoyed wimmens beach volleyball, tennis, wimmens gymnastics, archery, shooting, and what I saw of synch swimming. I managed to miss the Netherlands wimmens field hockey team... but yes, I am glad it is over. We watched The Godfather I, II, and II yesterday. It took almost all day but BAM... it was good watching.

I think watching too much olympic coverage caused me to miss the IPO of Manchester United. I might have bought into that!

With Comcast there were online live feeds of everything but there were LOTS of commercials... every little break was filled with them, it was so annoying I didn't watch much online. Then the "prime time" NBC coverage really SUQ! They would play 2/3 of an event then switch to something else, then later back for the end of the event you were really interested in... all to keep you watching so they could throw more commercials at you. A few years ago I was in Germany. I liked the way they did commercials. They might have 15 or 20 minutes of them but they were all aired between shows, not during them.. plus it was really cool watching John Wayne, sitting his horse and speaking German.

My most favorite Olympic event EVER.

Wayne der Welt! Wayne der Welt! Partyzeit! Ausgezeichnet!

There's been Olympics going on?

I was done, when girls beach volleyball was done...  And sorry for that, but that's just that.
