It's been a week since the Olympics has started a lot things happened already... Different countries gained a lot of medals and others faced their loss... I'm wondering what do you think about this year's Olympics?
What can you say about your countries delegates?
Happy mylot!

Yeah, China and US have bagged the most medals. They are performing very well. Its a wonderful thing to see the environment there. I feel it to be better to watch everything on TV rather than to be present there in such a huge crowd.
I am from India and my country lack at every Olympics, but this time it bagged a gold in shooting which is a matter of pride for me.
I love to watch gym events at Olympics...
Happy mylot!

That's sad to know... Athletes should be too given some attention by the countries official...

I have been really enjoying this year's olympics. I think the opening ceremony was spectacular. I enjoy watching swimming, diving, and gymnastics so far. I guess cuz each event is short and I just don't have time to watch a whole basketball game or volleyball match LOL, or I would probably like those as well.
Of course the US has a lot of great athletes (and a big corporate sponsorship machine to back it up), and I'm cheering for my countrymen, but I still like seeing an unexpected winner from a smaller country take the gold sometimes. It seems like such a great moment for them.
It's also been cool to watch Michael Phelps get all those gold medals, the most in history now I think, and do it breaking all the world records too. What a great Olympics he's having.
