United States Olympic swimmer Eric Shanteau takes questions about his recent discovery of testicular cancer during a press conference before the start of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. America's gold-medal chasing swimmers say Shanteau's battle with cancer has inspired them and made them realise there is more to life than the Olympic Games

US midfielder Stuar Holden (C) is congratulated by teammates after scoring a goal during the 2008 Olympic group B first round soccer match against Japan at the Tianjin Olympic center stadium. The US made the most of their limited attacking opportunities to open their Olympic men's soccer campaign with a 1-0

America has already won its first gold medal. ME!

At work we played some olympic type games (limbo, twister and hoop shooting) and I won the hoop shooting. I won a couple of bags of peanuts, two cup holders and new pen. Yeah!

Yep, in 5 minutes on NBC. BUT if it’s anything like the last few opening ceremonies, we’ll have 30-60 minutes of athlete profiles before the actual ceremonies start.

We had the live thread this morning. This is the 12 hour tape delay thread but I hope you enjoy it tonight. It’s a pretty good show overall.
