Did you enjoy the opening ceremonies of The Olympics?

I watched it up to when the United States team came in. I recorded it, so I will watch the rest after work tonight. I had to get up real early and had to go to sleep. I heard the lighting of the torch was fantastic and look forward to seeing it. I think Bush was getting tired of waiting for the U.S. team. He got caught on camera looking at his watch! Maybe he was getting tired too! I look forward to swimming, diving, gymnastics, track & field and softball. This is the last Olympics with softball and baseball. These sports have been replaced with more exciting sports, such as badminton and table tennis??!! PEACE

I will try to catch part of them....it's fun to see an individual start out in the olympics and continue their career in sports! And it's wonderful that even Iran, Iraq and other countries are participating!

I thought it was beautiful. I didn't get to see all of it, but I was completely enthralled by what I saw. It was amazing. I don't know how much of the games I will see, but I look forward to catching as much as possible. I love the gymnastics, and I think my son will enjoy diving.

I loved it, although I was disappointed later to learn that the girl singing wasn't really singing! What an awful story! I liked the parade of nations best, so many little countries I had never heard of!!

We did, i watched it with my girls and it was awesome. It was so great watching all those athletes from 200+ countries gathered in one place and having the time of their lives as seen on the smiles, on their faces was so moving. Having me wish to myself that the unity and peace in there yesterday, is what should be around the world everyday... Different nationalities, different languages, different colors but they were there to be one for one big event. Yes, Yao Ming with the little boy was moving but i liked the drama of the last part where the torch bearer was lifted up and appeared to be running on a scroll, slowly spreading. Boy, that was my favorite part and whoaa the fireworks they were amazing and i can't say anymore. It's the greatest Olympics opening for me so far.

me too. but i don't think it perfect.and the song 'you and me' isn't a good song.

I think sports are so over rated and so outrageously blown out of porporation that I can't stand any of them. Baseball is the only one that I can even consider, there's at least some talent required there. Football - I mean the only way you know where the ball is is to find the biggest pile of human bodies! Hockey is based on how violent it is.... SO... in my opinion, the olympics are just a waste of time, money, resources and half the time produce not much more than a bunch of problems, fights and distructive comotion. However, if you enjoy them, Enjoy!

i like the footprint made of protechny towards the nest,it is so amazing and trying to be unique. and the whole play is so romantic.
