Just thought I'd ask if anybody was watching the Olympics. We have such an international crowd here. Are you able to see most of it? In the US, we are.

I'm not really into sports much besides soccer (or football, as we call it in Europe), so I don't really follow the Olympics. I also generally don't read news, so I was very much surprised when I learned a few days ago that my country is actually doing pretty well, and that we did especially well in tennis, men's doubles, in which we won both gold and silver medal, so that's nice!

Did anyone you're maybe rooting for win something?

I've never seriously watched the Olympics, but this thread actually inspired me to check it out. It's been nice to have on as dinner background. I find that I jump around from event to event not out of interest in the event, but in terms of how much I like the commentators or not. Some of what they have to say is real interesting, and they'll mention memoirs and myths and folk wisdom. It really is a whole culture I had no clue about.

I watched a lot of it, as always! But it's a bit late now for the topic...
