QISE Review - Day 13 / by Mark

Running total hours recorded on my Tivo, starting with the Opening ceremony through midnight Thursday--370 hours so far.

  • How do you make a 10 second event like the 100m hurdles last 10 minutes? Include an "up close and personal" report on the American plus an interview afterwards.
  • I didn't see why there was such excitement about the beach volleyball win for Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings--the expected winners won.  Woo?
  • The Synchronized Swimming team competition seems particularly silly--it's like a parody of itself. A competitor at some point decided that smiling during the routine was a good idea--now they all have to plaster ghastly grins on their faces. It's like they released Joker venom into the water.

 More to come.
