The 2008 Olympics will soon be ending . . . will you miss them when they're gone? What did you like watching the most? Personally I enjoyed the swimming the best, but that was over last week, so now I don't watch them so much. I...

Rhythmic gymnastics at the 2008 Olympics--did you watch them?

PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 23 Aug 08

I only caught part of the rhythmic gymnasts' performances. But, wow, they were so awesome! They carried a baton with a really long ribbon (12 feet?) and then they wave it around while they are sort of dancing (like ballet) and it...

Watching track and field on the 2008 Beijing Olympics, can you believe...

PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 20 Aug 08

how fast those runners go? I mean, I know it's their job to run, but oh my gosh, they are practically flying around the curved track! In my 20s and early 30s, I used to run for exercise, and I felt so lean and mean and thin! I...

BEIJING -- Martial arts student Cheng Jianghua only saw the army barracks he stayed in and the stadium where he performed at the spectacular Olympics Opening Ceremony. But his sacrifices were minor -- other performers were...

What an amazing person! Michael Phelps has performed the unbelievable, the near impossible, the incredible feat of earning the most Gold medals of all time. He did so in impeccable fashion: 8 gold medals in 8 world record times!...

Can London top Beijing's Opening Ceremony for the 2012 Olympics?

wrld_n_harmony @wrld_n_harmony (695) • United States 15 Aug 08

Can ANYONE top this year's Opening Ceremony? I think this has BY FAR been the best Opening Ceremony, and I don't see how any country will be able to top this one! Of course, China spent $300 MILLION on it, while Athens spent $3...

Who thinks the Chinese gymnasts are REALLY 16-years-old?

wrld_n_harmony @wrld_n_harmony (695) • United States 15 Aug 08

SERIOUSLY, there's no way! I've read so many articles saying how they're as young as 13! In previous competitions and news reports, they were reported to be born in 1994 - 1995, and touted as the 13-year-old "new star." WHY...

Will Hosting The Olympic Games Be Good or Bad For China?

pangeacat @pangeacat (619) • United States 3 Jul 08

Every time I look at foxnews.com, I see something else that seems to put a giant, heart-wrenching obstacle in China's way. Not too long ago, they had a devastating earthquake. Apparently, ticket sales aren't going to bring in as...
