We have been watching. I enjoy the Olympics, it gives a break from regular programs. I agree Boston, athletes are athletes not heros. Some of the stuff these commentators come up with is beyond comical.

I am taping it all and will choose what I will watch later. Love the skating but really don't care for much of the rest.

Just glued to the television - love the Olympics, both summer and winter. And I actually watch a lot of the commercials. Many of them are very thoughtful and even inspiring and very well done!

so glad the U.S. speed skater, Biney, did so well--I found myself grinning back at her wonderful smile on her interview!

I love watching most of the Olympics and wish they would post time frames as to when each event will take place. Last night I discovered different channels were showing them at the same time but both had different events going on which was nice.

These athletes spend their young lives honing their skills for their own advancement. Their achievement is an honor to their country, but mostly to themselves. Not heroes.

It has never been an interest to me - can't say why - it just doesn't. But my DH loves it - winter and summer Olympics so when he is home he is watching it. I go to my sewing room and do what makes me happy.

Yes, enjoying the Olympics. We watched the snowboarding and figure skating. Speed skating is on now!

I love the skating. The music, the costumes, it's just so beautiful.

I watched some last night. I do like watching but missed the opening ceremony because I was watching a great niece and then a great nephew play basketball. :)

I will be watching the Paralympics also especially the Banked Slalom and Boardercross. My nephew is waiting to get his official invite.
