Olympics were AMAZING! My highlight: High Def...Camera shots...damn fine.Specifically the men`s 10M platform diving. The incredible slo-motion video of these amazing athletes as they jump start their dives so clearly reveal the movement within the speedo! Sure hope some of them have been captured and will be posted here in this fantastic group or on you tube!!! All i can say is wow! Lost a few loads...i must admit.p.s....and Alex will always be my hero! Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2012 13:36:26 -0700 From: [email protected] Subject: [omnisport:20216] Olympic musings. What are yours?

The Olympics were fantastic. Here are a couple of random thoughts on the Olympics. Share yours: Could they have been better at highlighting or introducing the has been British stars/singers at the Opening/Closing ceremonies? At the opening they say when Paul McCartney popped up at the end many of athletes on the field were texting each other with no idea who he was. Regarding these ceremonies: Wasn't it all so overtly glittery and showy to be at the same time so consciously and painfully socially aware? GOSH, NHS, STOMP and the Spice Girls? I am all for great athletes, but can the world ignore further the sweat shop China operates, snatching possible athletes from their families at age 6 and making them train in a sport, without asking if they want to, and not providing them with even a basic rudimentary education in reading or math, just in gymnastics or swimming their entire lives... Tom Daley is GREAT but would any other athlete have gotten a "do over" having botched their first time attempt? Isn't it great to see WRs can be broken in swimming, even after the banning of full body suits? Do you wonder what is hype and what is real at the Olympic Village? Doesn't it make you want to become a Village domestic worker in 2016? "here's your room service sir, and can I massage that for you?" These days have been wonderful, are we still in economic crisis? Did Spain actually almost beat the "Dream Team" in the BBall finals? Isn't a shame they didn't? Just a few things I have been thinking about. What are yours?
