Good to see Nadal and Phelps on the flags, big names in sport who want that Olympic gold. Or in Phelps' case his 19th gold.
But wtf USA out before us, what is this Portuguese alphabet!
Nadal looked ancient as well. Seems to have aged 10 years since I last saw him.
Funny how the Yanks are tape delayed on the open ceremony as well. Only they wouldn't show such an event live.

Could be that time of the year again where the media have another revisit on the atrocities committed by the British Empire. Now, I'm off to watch Waterloo.

Well i lasted until Team GB arrived in the arena and caught up with the rest this morning: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/36993259
I thought it was a decent effort considering that the budget was a fraction of London's. Scaling back these ceremonies is no bad thing.
They really do need to sort out that athlete's parade though. I half expected to get up this morning to see the last few countries still making their way into the arena.

not seen a lot of sailing have you.It's not a sport if you don't run, hit, lift, throw, swim, kick, or rotate your body in some way. Sailing and equestrian events out (hobbies).

That's nothing new. While I love NBC's premier league coverage, they always butcher the olympics. Every 5 mins there was a commercial break. Thankfully I made use of my VPN and watched the stream on the bbc.
The road race is a good event to start. A sport with big names but I feel the event has more prestige than say the football gold medal or tennis gold medal.
Does anyone know roughly when it'll finish though? They mentioned six hours but then said it'd finish around 4pm UK time....
