August 11, 200818 yr Author Can there be a more stupid event in Olympics than synchronized diving? And water polo is kind of silly, too. I'm sure it's tough to tread water and swim non-stop for four 7-minute periods, but an olympic sport? I mean, come on, mowing my backyard in 90 degree weather is pretty tough also and takes a little endurance, but they don't make it part of the Olympics. I will give you synchronized diving...but I will respectfully completely disagree with you when it comes to water polo.
August 11, 200818 yr Author ^^^^ Uuuhh what was I going to say??? Oh yeah, curious about the TV ratings. How have they been. I am not sure of the ratings, but I believe I heard that the first night of the actual games (not ceremonies) when Michael Phelps was swimming his 400 IM and broke the world record there was 57-58 millions viewers.
August 11, 200818 yr I can't wait to watch more and more. Too bad that the best stuff on TV is usually during the "prime time hours" since I will have to miss the good stuff from Tuesday to Saturday evening since I have the Florence Freedom games to work but I will still be following things. If the rest of the events are as exciting as the 4x100 men's free then its' going to be one heck of an Olympics.
