Re: Olympics Are Coming And I'm feelin' Good!
I used to be an Olympic fanatic when I was a girl. Am a wakling encyclopedia when it comes to some of them.
Used to spend hours and hours ok, days watching EVERYTHING!!!!!such was the boredom in the pre-internet days
Then came the drugs and doping, politics and all other forms of evil and ugliness.
It's all still there, but somehow, I'll make myself watch at least the opening ceremony, some swimming, some athletics (loved the high jump and long jump as well as 800m and 1500m races as well & all relay races).
I was absolutely bananas about gymnastics....not any more!
I used to be glued to TV and then walk around the house pretending I was one of them...must've been hilarious to my parents ....

You are the first female I know who seems to follow or followed all kinds of sports to this extreme :queen: .
Good to know this. I have been similar, we had our first TV in 1984, My father used to be a sport fanatic as well and it was solely because of him that I became a sports fanatic, I am the only one of my kind in my whole family. Like you put it- walking encyclopedia

Its hard to see someone spoil the Williams party on grass so I think they will win singles and doubles
On the mens side its a tough call between Novak,Roger and Andy
Federer goes in as the favourite,I cant see him blow this opportunity with Nadal out the draw,he's playing with a lot of confidence and if it rains and the roof is used then its going to be pretty much all one way traffic from him
What about yourself,what are your predictions?

Re: Olympics Are Coming And I'm feelin' Good!
I'm the only fanatic in my family , DIY style....My dad did take me to one football match when I was 7, I loved it! I've been to a lot of sports events and I also played a few sports, so that usually maybe goes together.wow3 wrote:You are the first female I know who seems to follow or followed all kinds of sports to this extreme :queen: .

I wanted to do so many things and my dad wouldn't let me thinking I would neglect school....so I had to sneak out on Saturday mornings to play volleyball for my school team My parents thought I was at my best friend's 8)
Then there were winter olympics....those were the days....

Williams are not winning it as well.

Really? Interesting,Berdych is a great player but his first round exit at Wimbledon is bound to have hurt his confidence

That's why I am putting as fav, I think he is the best rested, I think fatigue is going to kick in at some stage. Fed has been playing non stop. He is not winning oly, I can bet on it.
After Berdych, my next bet will be Murray. Just becuase of the home support and the fact that he is represeting Britain in Britain.

As we are talking of it, this is when "we were young" just watch the last minute of it, purely sensational.

Apparently we will be waiting for hours to see a few seconds so I'm wondering if its worth it...
I should probably try and see it cause I won't get another chance to

That's a crazy question wow and I can't give you the answer. Him and Rog, maybe Tsonga in the final. Nole and Fed are the best players there by FAR, but because it's best of 3 (until the final), there could be upsets, although, I'm not expecting any.

make sure you've got internet at hand while you're waiting.....you can either surf Wooffies's site or watch this interview from Fed (in sSwiss German, dubbed in American English):

Good interview, fed discussed as what went through his mind when serving for the match against nole.
I like that match was on my racquet.

I do!!!! That was pathetic!!!!! Amazing how all those ceremonies try to outdo the previous one and then do an overkill! Beijing one was just like that, I started glazing over after half an hour.....
I'm expecting the London one to bue sublime, and that's the only reason why I'll be watching it. I also want to see Nole carry the flag, as well as Sharapova, Stan...great times for tennis. Shame Fed turned down the honour, however noble his motif was.

They say Sydney was the best,I never saw it.Beijing was really impressive.That birds nest stadium is just incredible architecture !
I cant see us topping that especially after the shambles of the closing ceremony,but Im hoping they prove me wrong

Williams are not winning it as well.
Berdych lost in the first round again in straight sets to Steve Darcis
This is an even bigger shock then a few weeks ago as Gublis is a good grass court player
