I haven't watched boxing in a long time, and apparently they don't really box so much anymore. I just watched a whole round of clinching and grabbing. Our guy fell to the ground twice -- once on his own, and once because his opponent pulled him down. I had no idea what was going on, but our guy won, so I guess that's a good thing.

One of my favorite Olympic moments is when they show all the sailboats, and each boat has a giant sail that looks like the national flag.
ReplyDeleteI also like the shots of the table tennis players hunched over the table, looking at the ball, just before they serve.
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest: I don't really think much of 3-on-3 basketball as a spectator sport, at least under the rules they are using.
ReplyDeleteI have struggled with it, but I've started to come around to 3x3, and I like it that they call it "three-X-three."
