Yup. I only loved this part, and Celine Dion's. Really love Lady Gaga here. I wished there was a short cut for the horse rider on water. It was just too long to wait for the flag to arrive, even for the people watching at home. I wonder how those who were actually there thought.

Hey everyone... I'm back. Gosh it's been awhile. So many familiar names are still here!!! Look of the games... At first I thought the colors were more suitable for a winter Olympics than a summer one, but it does look cool and vibrant in summer. Lovin' it.

It has been a successful CWG for the Malaysians... 12 Golds, 10 Silvers and 13 Bronzes.. the most golds ever won. Previously it was 10 golds during KL98. Golds were from Weightlifting (2), Track Cycling (1), Badminton (4), Squash (1), Shooting (2), Diving (1), and Rhythmic Gymnastics (1). The lawn bowls team targeted 3 golds and came back with none... very unfortunate for the hot favorites...

Hey CAF.. not too bad here.. Anyone knows any network showing live online telecast of the OC?

Hello peeps... Have not been actively involved in the forum for so long.. Delhi's preparation has so far been interesting I really hope they could do an "Athens" and make it a great games nevertheless. Malaysian world no 1s... Lee Chong Wei (men's singles badminton), Khoo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong (men's doubles badminton), Nicol David (women's singles squash), Safuan Said (men's singles Lawn Bowls) have already checked in at the games village by yesterday. At the opening ceremony, Malaysia's flag bearer will be Siti Zalina, the women's singles lawn bowls gold medalist in Manchester 2002 and Melbourne 2006, trying for a hattrick in Delhi. Other world class performance by Malaysians can be expected in Diving, Track Cycling, and Archery. I will not be watching the games on Astro in Malaysia as I will be in Frankfurt for 10 days beginning tomorrow. So I'm just gonna be depending on the Internet and you guys Oh I read that Jai Ho is one of AR Rahman songs that will be performed, together with his CWG commissioned song. I suspect it's gonna be a very colorful opening ceremony.

Now that closing ceremony was a let down.. pity London didn't capitalize on that to make their segment memorable!

it's over?

the singers were just making noise!!

is the sound system a bit off?

yeah

the lucky cloud tree made the stadium look like a huge ballroom...

awesome formation of the logo.. first time we've seen that in Beijing... and the fireworks.. again... wow!

If you've been to London, you'll understand. Can't go anywhere without one!

My expectations exactly, even before the ceremony started. Not interesting.

cool olympic ring fireworks!
