With easily the greatest opening ceremony in Olympic history Beijing really left nothing for the imagination. After spending over $48 Billion on renovating the city and creating the beautiful stadium and swimming facility they made they did not disappoint. China really has everyone beat in terms of how far along they are with technology and this opening ceremony was really one of the best technilogical displays of all time.
Although I think we do a bad job of highlighting Olympic qualifiers to bring us athletes to watch out for and instead just flood it with our NBA players and the best sprinter there are still people to look out for from the USA. Here are 3 USA Olympic athletes to be on the lookout for during the next few weeks.
Michael Phelps:
After a 6 gold medal year in Athens he is up for 8 this year after already winning one as we speak mattter of fact.
Tyson Gay:
Our true Track and Field hero this year has done things the clean way but will only be competing in the 100m race due to falling injured in the qualifications for the 200m.
Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor:
The suprise olympic heroes of the 2004 games this duo has been domination the beach volleyball circuit these past 4 years and should come home with another gold.
Enjoy the Olympics because it's the one time when we get to look past the problems of the world for 3 weeks and root for our country and its athletes. It's a time of peace and happiness as we watch everyone from our respected country represent us and give us something to be proud of.
