Yesterday the 2008 Summer Olympics began in Beijing. As some of you probably know, I’m an Olympic nut! I’ve gone to the past two Winter Olympic Games and I watch as much of the Olympic coverage on TV as I can. This is both a good thing and a bad thing, especially since NBC has upped its coverage this year. There will be more Olympic sports on TV this year than ever before. So far, here’s how my viewing has gone. Last night I watched the Opening Ceremonies (after spending a night out with some friends). When I was done with that, the sports coverage on USA had already started – 7 hours of it! I watched a women’s sabre fencing and started watching women’s badminton singles before going to bed (at 2am). I woke up this morning and finished the badminton from the night before. Already on my TiVo, I have 14 hours of Olympic coverage recording and I’ve gone through the Universal HD coverage from last night (men’s singles badminton and beach volleyball). Currently, I am watching women’s beach vollyball and I believe there will be some fencing on later during this USA coverage session. So yeah, can you say obsessed? It’s okay though. This only happens every two years. What sports are you most excited to watch?
The Olympics Begin!
