Opening ceremony was okay. It was more a show of London history and pop culture than one of universal ideas.

Most of the world won't get it.

Those Canadian outfits look refreshingly sporty. Up to now, very many "official"-looking gowns.

American Samoa so far the most badass. I lol'd seeing Canadians buttoned up like they were at Winter Olympics.

Is Yi a basketball god in China or something? I thought they would have used a more successful athlete.

They always use basketball players. Done it forever. Even **** ones who play in the CBA.

I am still in shock about Yi. China has so many EPIC athletes like Liu Xiang, Wang Hao and a gazillion more, but why YI?! That is like representing the Boston Celtics with Scalabrine.

That would be so insulting if it weren't so funny. :rofl:
