The 2012 edition of the book, SECRETS OF THE OLYMPIC CEREMONIES, is now out and available on amazon. Great book, it spills all the secrets on how these shows (from Berlin 1936 to Vancouver 2010) are put together. Over 150 photos and images, many of them never before published.
I've been to every Olympics going back to 1984 and I enjoyed this games as much as any. Transportation was OK, hosts were friendly but the best part? TICKET SCALPERS. Honestly. I was getting tickets at BARELY above face value. Just a ton of fun.
I was 13, and my family and I live(d) about 10 mins south of the stadium. Of course, we watched it on TV with the rest of the world. I only did 2 Olympic-related things: 1) watched the torch go through our 'hood, and 2) went to the park the night before the bombing - we stood close to that tower... Traffic was a nightmare from what I remember. Atlanta wasn't perfect, but it was still an awesome atmosphere overall.
alot more happend at this olympics drama-wise thats what made it crazy...dude with aids bust his head open in the pool..the bombings...the awestruck innocence of an 8 year olds face
@Demama777 It must've been good. It was the most profitable Olympics in history, and to think, the only other cities interested in hosting in '84 were New York and Tehran, and Tehran bowed out later.
Sacramones performance was terrible during the olympics and was the reason why Team USA lost. With that kind of performance and still made it to the national team, I wonder how many coaches did she have to sleep with in order to get the spot. Her ass is so fat, I think her ass is at least 20 pounds extra compared to her teammates. That was why she brought down Team USA. Stupid bitch should go to Jenny Craig. Alicia will go down as the worst, and most disgraceful gymnast in Olympic history.
It's too bad the Sonics are no longer in Seattle after 41 years as a team. But I hope they do better in Oklahoma, despite the the lease there was up, & then no one wanted to build a new arena. So that's that.

Beijing is absolutely the best. And unlikely to be equal in the future.

No one doubts that.
Only a super-dicatorship like China could pull that off.

Compared to Beijing's opening, this one looks like a joke. Stop being a miserable jealous loser.
