Well it's started if you can see it through the thick smog 

Olyroos drew 1-1 with Serbia.

To be quite frank (no my name isn't frank). I'm not really that interested in the game. For this reason alone.
It seem that once they have finished what ever sports they play they tend to head off to do a worlds championship. So why have the game when this happens all the time. Just my opinion.
But here I will say that I like to watch the 1500 swim with Grant Hacket, Boxing and Weight Lifting.
  Thats all folks.

Very flashy = literally!

I wonder if the guy who lit the flame has any eyebrows left today 

They copied Sydney doing the cute little kid thing with their own version of Niki Webster lol but the scroll, globe and the 2d to 3d Olympic rings and dove were impressive. The Aussie got a big cheer too. Got to love all the pollies on their junket getting their face on camera  .

Apparently the little girl in the red singing was all mimed and the fireworks outside the Bird's Nest were all fake - prerecorded.  There's also been complaints that athletes families can't get tickets into venues, yet the venues aren't full.

Stephanie Rice has won her 3rd goal medal and scored her 3rd world record in the 4x200 freestyle replay.

That makes it 5 Gold, 4 Silver and 7 Bronze for the Aussies so far.
