Olympic fun

I am enjoying the Olympics so far. The 4 x 100m relay won by the Americans yesterday was the most exciting swimming race i have ever seen. What a come back on the final leg by Jason Lezak! And Rebecca Adlington winning the 400m freestyle was also very exciting. Thanks to digital telly and the internet you can watch almost anything. I have been watching some of the more obscure sports - I found archery strangely compelling to watch for a sport where the competitors spend most of their time stationary. Wind surfing was very disappointing though.

I also caught a bit of Judo before work this morning and I wasn't very impressed. From my point of view, it seemed to be two men grappling a bit, falling on the floor and then starting all over again, with points very occasionally being given randomly to either competitor. I am sure if you have a knowledge of Judo it becomes a lot more watchable but i won't be heading to any Judo meets in the near future...
