To be quite honest, the Opening Ceremony was more entertaining that expected! The only parts I didn't like were the largely disinterested Her Majesty the Queen (but ok, she's 86), Muhammad Ali so sick he seemed not to know where he was (give the guy a break already), and maybe the somewhat lengthy procession with the Olympic Flag carried by Haile Gebrselassie and seven people you've never heard of.
The part I liked the most? Use in one show the Queen, Paul McCartney, Bradley Wiggins, Kenneth Branagh, David Beckham, Mike Oldfield, Mary Poppins, Steve Redgrave, James Bond, and JK Rowling, and still the simple yet brilliant Mr. Bean is what the world shall remember for years to come!
Now, with all due respect to the Opening Ceremony and Olympic football (yawn), today is the day we're really getting started! I'll try to watch every single final with the exception of shooting (triple yawn).
Approximate British times of the gold medal events:
Cycling 15h30-16h30
Judo 16h00-16h20
Weightlifting 16h30-17h30
Archery 18h00-18h30
Swimming 19h30-20h50
Fencing 19h40-20h10
And in case any Polish tennis fans are reading this:
11h30 Jans/Rosolska - Kirilenko/Pietrowa
13h30 Urszula Radwańska - Mona Barthel
13h30 Fyrstenberg/Matkowski - Ferrer/Lopez
15h30 Łukasz Kubot - Grigor Dimitrow
