I watched the opening ceremony Friday from Beijing and was very impressed with the spectacle and wondered how Chicago might handle the opening ceremony if they get the Games in 2016.
I imagine a group called the Patronage Dancers are scheduled. They collect a paycheck but never show up to perform.
Why do I feel that despite all the precautions that would be made that the Olympic torch would be late for the 2016 Opening Ceremony because the runner is stuck on the Eisenhower during rush hour?
I'm currently watching the boxing on CNBC. I've always liked Olympic boxing. Four rounds to get your point across to your foe. There's no wasted time sizing each other up or dancing around which plagues the sport frequently at the pro level.
Watched team handball this morning. I don't really get it. I guess it's a little like indoor soccer but with the feet only used for running.
One more thing about the opening ceremony -- I found out about countries that I had never heard of. Did actually I learn something? Better listen to sports talk radio to lessen the affect.
