No. I haven't watched the Olympics since I was a little girl.
My favorite Summer Olympic Event: Solo Synchronized Swimming
I had mixed feelings about the opening ceremonies, what with the obtuse introductory performances, and the mixed media presentations alternating between urban family soap staged opera and live choreography.
The industrial revolution performance was interesting, as was the NHS performance. Some of the music performers lacked the class and stature to perform at an international event; and I still wonder about Paul McCartney's feigned enthusiasm to motivate the crowd.
The highlight was watching Evelyn Glennie leading the percussion performances. She's always a favorite of mine and I truly enjoy her music.
It looked as though the parachute jump from the helicopter by the Queen evidently upset her stomach , because the entire evening, her facial expressions reminded me of someone troubled with Gastroesophageal reflux. Someone should have offered her an Alka Seltzer.

.Oh yeah! James Bond picked her up at the castle, they flew over the Thames over to the stadium, and they both jumped out! Quite a sight.
Didn't seem to ruffle her dress and she managed to keep her hat on.
See the video of the jump

My parents are really into it so I've seen some of the cycling, rowing, and swimming events and plenty of swimming repeats. And the end of Aust's women's hockey team losing to New Zealand :hmm: :facepalm:
I have been watching the Olympics all week catching something different each day with the kids. The kids love it. Mostly swimming, gymnastics, but some rowing and cycling too.
The opening ceremonies were a bit odd - not as exciting as China's drumming sequence. And I agree - the Queen could have smiled a bit - instead she seemed bored by the whole thing and had a puss on her face :lol:
