This is for the local people on the scene to provide results and updates to family members and friends in the FR community.

Press reports should trickle in through the day.

After major life saving surgery many share the feelings after as your husband did. My uncle who had a quad bypass begged to die for a good 4-5 days post op. He made it through and today is just find. I too like inspirational stories, specially of amatuer athletes.

KC finished 5th which is great as well.

who is the red head and where did she come?

[virgil]

I liked the lighting of the flame at Barcelona. Where that guy shot a flaming arrow from the ground up and over into the cauldron. So cool.

[Amore]

Oh, what a nice story. I hope your husband is doing well.

[OldFriend]

Thank you, yes he is doing well. We both had a good time ragging on Katie Couric last night!!!

Is this the live thread?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Why not start one?

[Amore]

So let me get this correctly: I live in Calif. the Olympics are in Utah and "NBC's Coverage will be 2 1/2 hours OLD" by the time it reaches my living room?

No, from what I read, I believe your coverage is even more delayed. NBC is delaying 40% of their coverage for all time zones so as to put the best stuff in prime time. THEN it is delayed a further 3 hours, waiting for California's prime time.

[Howlin]

If Utah Girl started this one, it's the official thread.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

But has she seen the Queen?

[JAWs]

Just go to the Olympics web site if you want results as they happen.

I am still waiting for NBC to finish showing all of the taped events from Sydney from over a year and a half ago- or did they finally finish that?

[jragan2001]

I left California almost 4 years ago to move back here to the Southeast. Even a lot of the Democrats here are more conservative than the radical socialists (a Michael Savage term) in Kalifornia. Don't worry, I am not even bothering to watch the Olympics-a lot of it is taped here also. What a joke!!

[zarf]

YAWN! Olympics are boring. It's been diluted by pros and overexposure of year round cable events.zzzzzzz/

Thanks for posting that Post comment. So true. They are both clymers. I watched the opening ceremonies in spite of them.
