Other Olympic Observations

So Sad, did not see the closing ceremonies; lightning hit somewhere in Kingman and took out cable for whole northern Arizona area - It was a bummer

Just wanted to clarify that I do think BMX is a great Olympic sport. Of course Sarah Walker of NZ won the silver :D I am just not happy that to introduce new sports and old one has to go.

I really don't know about tennis- those guys have lots of oppotunities to compete at a worldwide level.

And the synchronized diving was pretty amazing in my opinion.

Yep, couldn't agree more.

I'm also not sure tennis belongs on the Olympics and they are introducing gold in the next summer games. Don't get that one either.
