I was going to say "Don't be rude!" before i changed my mind seeing stazi's post which considered a well support from those disabilities at Olympics from all over the world!

Our local 16 yr old girl is over there for swimming in 50m, 100m, 200m and 400m freestyle. Hopefully to see her on tv soon!!!!!! Bring it on Aussies!!!

agreed about abc hd quality.

 

[Shoubadoo]

Duuude I missed the opening cerem!
Was it any good?

 

[stazi]

not yet. there'll be more to the ceremony after they walk out. the philosophy is: why would you walk the athletes in last? then they miss the whole ceremony.

paralympics are on ABC-2 now

 

[stazi]

did anyone see the race with tall and short people, and with one person starting in teh pool. so confusing. wish they'd explain how it all works. one person wasn't even moving her arms in the butterfly. i don't think she had arms. it's kind of scary. amazing how fast the no-armed chick went, thoguh.
