O L Y M P I C S !!
They're here at last:
The
2004 (Athens) Olympics.
Which country will win the most medals?
Which athlete will win the most medals?
Will Michael Phelps break Mark Spitz' medal record in the swimming competition?
What will be the memorable story of the 2004 games?
READY
SET
GOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

I was watching some of the opening ceremonies and one of the broadcasters (Tom Brokaw ??) mentioned that an Australian plane airlifted the athletes out of Iraq, under secrecy, due to the violence taking place in Iraq. Talk about international cooperation!!

i was disappointed in the men's basketball game. They should play their warm up team a little more. They have good talent that they are not using like former UConn player Emeka Okafor! glad to see that the US whipped the Aussie's in men's beach volleyball.
Go USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was so bad for me to sit and watch at half time I got up and went to start dinner and do some other things. It made me sick!

Update -- Medal Count (current)
Medal Count
Edit: updated post to reflect that the "Medal Count" is "Current". Funny, I didn't realize that when I posted this the first time!

Heard yesterday on the evening news that Athens had some tremors. it wasn't that bad and nothing was damaged!
as it stands right now the US has 73 total medals.
One of the female gymnasts is from Connecticut!
