Considering I was really not interested before it all started, I've watched far too much of it.

No adverts for us, and as was mentioned above, the BBC ran 24 additional channels (+ another 24 for HD viewers) you could, if you wanted to, not miss a thing.

One of the best games ever. A few frineds of mine went up last week and they were blown away by how well organised the whole thing was. The only cockup was hoisting the wrong Korean flag right at the start.

Hi,

I only watched the soccer games ... specially since the CHB was not anywhere in sight in any of the competitions ... I was looking for the Dufus Wrestling, or the StinkBomb Synchronized Running, but these never showed uo ... so ... that was that for me.

And, Mexico deserved that game and then some ... Brazil did not play well in the back and was not sure what to do, and panicked!

NFL preseason games have started and college football will be on in a few weeks.

I was fortunate enough to watch a good deal of it.  The only thing I did miss out on was actually the Beach Volleyball, as there was other stuff I was more interested in, I feel cheated now.

I'm a fan of the cycling so I watched most of that and a good chunk of the British medals came from there too.  The final kilometers of the women's road race was the most enthralling with the Dutch girl pulling away from the British girl to cross the line.

It's been a fantastic games but I'm glad it's done with now I feel like I need a rest...lol.

I watched about 30 minutes of it.

I watched more  than I usually do.  I'm not sure if I was getting tired of it, but it seemed like fewer events held my interest the last few days.  It may just be scheduling too.

Didn't watch it much. the occasional "gold moment" or "agony of defeat" as reported on the news.

Same thing with the end cap ceremonies.

Did I miss anything?

Did I miss anything? 

A Bulgarian shot-putter tested positive for being a Martian.

A family of albino badgers were found living in the long jump pit.

The Czechs won the clay pigeon shooting by using a Gatling Gun. Nothing in the rules said they couldn't.

The photo finish in the women's 1500 metres turned out to be conjoined twins.

I didn't get to watch as much as Beagle did, but it looks like I should have seen more!
