Gather, oh boys and girls, and discuss. ;P
Anyway, it was obviously tennis that I watched all the time.
When I heard Federer was defeated by Blake, I went kind of "Argh, no. ...Okay, whatever, Nadal is still there.".
And when I finally ended up watching the bronze match of Djokovic and Blake, I rooted for the former during the whole match. When the final ball for the tiebreak was about to be played, I actually started to chant "One more point, one more point" out loud... and when Djokovic finally did it, I squealed out loud and looked like that --> :8 I also found it really adorable how he went crazy after he won. XD First he threw something into the audience, then he batted a ball there, and finally he threw two of his rackets at them! XD It was so cute, how happy he was! And besides, I mean, USA will get many, many medals, but this was Serbia's only chance to get a medal... so I wanted Djokovic to win.
And that gold match. OMG. I was simply amazed by the long rallies Nadal and Gonzales played. And Nadal's spin serves, the fact that he's a lefty, his amazing speed, the speed of Gonzales's balls (that came out wrong...)... AWESOME MATCH, FTW. Gah, Nadal is HOT without that headband (he doesn't look that good with it on). *________* And he's quite pretty when he smiles. Plus it was so awesome when he fell on his back on the court again. XD And how he threw his sweatbands at the audience.
Nadal really deserved that medal. <3

I wanted to watch some tennis but always missed it...
Our weight lifter just got silver, making it our fourth medal for today! <3 We got one gold, two silvers and one bronze today and in general, we have six medals, it was a slow start for our athletes, they haven't won any for the first week of Olympics...

We have three medals, I think. One gold, one silver, one bronze, two from shooting and one from rowing. I can't wait to see how Pitkämäki does in javelin throw! X3 sphere: ...Blake? o____o;; It was Djokovic that won the bronze match.

Most of it were just computer effects though.
Also, they ditched a girl with an epic singing voice just because she was too ugly for TV broadcasting and let a much cuter girl "sing" in her place and mimic to her recorded voice.

I only care about the games and the athletes to begin with. The opening ceremony was just... there.

I LOVE the Olympics when I'm in Australia, but I couldn't care less this year.
