Time to dust off this thread.  |
You should've posted this yesterday, considering the time zone.

It seems everyone's having a ball, maybe with the exception of a few delegations such as the North Koreans - they were dead somber.

Some soccer (football) is on today, USA vs. Japan for instance.
I'm somewhat interested in basketball, football, track, swimming, and ping-pong for the Games. Except for basketball, I would not usually follow any of these sports during the year ... but for the Olympics I'll tune in a bit.

Especially in that withering heat and humidity.
