Once every four years, athletes are given a chance to become legends on what is a world stage. A true chance at being not only a World, but an Olympic Champion is a dream that many athletes dream of. It's probably a similar dream that anyone who has ever suited up in an Olympic event has probably dreamed about at one time or another.
The Medal Count constantly changes, you can keep up with it HERE. Just remember that Beijing China is like 12 hours ahead of us in time difference. I had an open invitation to attend them a few years ago from a friend of mine who lives in Beijing.
I have watched a good bit of the games this weekend, both live and tape delayed (when I wasn't napping). Yesterday morning I watched what was the largest watched sporting event ever in the History of television when China and the USA Men's basketball team met in China. The USA won 101-70, but you have to remember this was the most popular sport, against the worlds best players in the worlds largest Country. There was an estimate that 500 Million watched this game in China alone. If EVERYONE in the US watched the Super Bowl, that would still only be 300 Million viewers.
Take some time and enjoy this marvelous event or keep up with it HERE.
