Athens 2004: What did you think?

[MrZammler]

Well, the Games are over, greatest moment when the little girl blow the torch... feels sad...

Anyway, what did you think about the Games? I am particularly curious as to what did you think of the open/close ceremonies?  (Thinking that you are not so familiar with Greek music)?

Thanks.

I think it was great, the games them self was good and I think the closing ceremony was better than the opening ceremony which was a bit abstract, I didn´t understood all parts off it but it was good anyway.
But the closing ceremony rocked, literally :-)
Not that I know anything about greek music but it was cool that you did it that way with a bunch off the top popsingers  in Greece.

I have one complaint though, the giant torch, did it had to be so .... hum, cigarshaped? :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

I thought it was crap!

The worst show ever!

It was terrible!

I hated it!

It couldn't get worse!

My dog could make a better show than that!

I could pull a better show out of my butt!

I'd rather watch paint dry!

I'd rather wait for alien life to land!

A 4 hour train trip is better than that crap!

I never saw it.

(though I agree with him considering this, except from some parts of the olympics :-D)

The beach volley games were nice. :-P

[that_punk_guy]

I managed to avoid watching it at all. :-)

[BADHead]

Yeah more beach volley ball  :-)

[Speelgoedmannetje]

I preferred that "jumping in water from the highest diving board, meanwhile doing as much tricks and turns as possible"

@MrZammler

Bravo sas!!! I loved both ceremonies. I loved the Tsiftitelli :-D. I loved it all! My favourite part would have to be that in the opening ceremony where they showed a drummer in Olympia and the other drummer in the stadium at Athens almost battling it out. It was especially moving to see the reaction of the older generation Greek here in Australia. Heck, some of us would love move back ;-).

Mmmm...
Female mud wrestling!...
*Homer-kinda drool*

[odin]

I'd rather wrestle with one of the females in question myself......


Who cares about sports anyway  :-P.

[Dan]

There was female wrestling but without the mud and with the clothes on. It was still better than the male wrestling, because it was freestyle and the men wrestled in Greeko-Roman style.
Of course judo was best:-)
