What did you Like / dislike about the Beijing Olympic games? And were you there?

Question

wether you were there or not I am interested in your feedback.

Answer 1

no i didn't attend the olympics.

i liked some of the individual performances, not particully gold medal performances....... for example:

#an 80 year old competing in an equestrian event, 44 years after he was last at an olympic games!

#the guy from togo who won bronze in the kayaking!

#anna mears winning silver in a track cycling event, as she broke her neck 6 months earlier!!

#the german weightlifter that won gold, his wife had died before the olympics who was helping him prepare for the games!

things i didnt like was ch7 broadcasting of the olympic games, it was a gold medal performance for the worst coverage ever! nearly everything was delayed at least 30 minutes, i was forced to watch sports that i had no interest in!

Answer 2

I like everything about it, from beginning to the end.

The only thing i don't like is the ending part where the singer singing... have no idea what so good about it, have no idea what they singing :(

Answer 3

I loved the everything about it, the sport, the hot ladies, Hamish and Andy and watching the swimming finals at school. But i hated channel seven with their delayed telecast of most of the sports. That was the only minor problem. The best thing was, all the countries that get all the sporting events at the idle time had to watch most of the event either late at night or early in the morning, while australians were able to watch it all day and night!

Answer 4

I was quite pissed when China beat America by only 15 golds....

Answer 5

The coverage was spotty at times, felt like you missed out on a lot.I liked all the records being broken the most. No, didn't go.  

Answer 6

the openining ceremony scandals were bad

Answer 7

i didnt like how it was all intended to impress the world and show how good they were

like the opening ceremony...it was just big and extravagent, it wasnt actually entertaining

it was just thousands of people doing the same thing, like well done for being able to get it all so perfect but it was boring, for like 20 minutes at a time whereever i look the same thing was happening...how g*y

and culture really isnt just a giant compass and big lcd screen

they thought money can do anything but very often that's not true

the closing ceremony was better though

i also didnt like the idea of the chinese athletes being dragged away from their families at age like 3 or something and doing nothing but training...to me it was quite evident how the chinese lacked that passion in the sport that you see in the other athletes

i also didnt like the fact that they spent something like 36 billion dollars when they've got soo much poverty

Answer 8

I liked EVERYTHING about the Beijing Olympic games. I DISliked that it had to end!!! and no i was not there

Answer 9

I think the whole thing was one big waste that just interfered with net work tv programing so i did'nt watch any of it.

Answer 10

i dislike china win the gold in olympics.........

Answer 11

I liked the track and field, they did a very good job of putting on a complicated and large meet.

The officials were excellent, and I did not see any problems.

I did not like the enormous stairs I had to climb to get to my seat for each session. I did not like the security search to enter the Olympic Green, but understand it.

I was there.

Answer 12

I liked all of this year's Summer Olympics! Oh no, I wasn't there!

Answer 13

I liked almost everything. The one thing I didn't like was when it ended.
