the opening ceremony was impressive at the start. best parts of the last few ceremonies: the torch lighting in sydney, the water flooded stadium with flaming rings in athens, and the drums, countdown, light show in beijing.

is it just me or did other ppl find channel 7's coverage/commentary pathetic?
Channel 7's coverage had too many unnecessary ad breaks and odd commentary. The Opening Ceremony was sexy nonetheless. (Except for the 2 hour country introduction part)

Great ride by Evans, really set Rogers up for a chance at the end, but he didn't have enough left in the tank.

Schleck was fucking pissed that he got fucked in the last 200 metres, who saw him punch his bike ? hahah

"MICHAEL Rogers has been denied Olympic cycling road race glory by a cruelly-timed cramp as he almost stole victory in a thrilling sprint finish."
