8/8/08 Olympics

Anyone getting excited about them?
If you are, which events?

I think the olympics are still great, but not as important as they once were. Back when it was focused more on the "countries' atheletes".

I've always enjoyed the swimming, and the relay races.

Yes, I'm really looking forward. And not for just some events, but I enjoy pretty much everything. There is though something I always like: the opening and the ending ceremonies.
Unfortunately, this Olympics will be a little inaccessible for me because of Beijing's local time, which is +6 related to the time in my country. So, sometimes I won't be able to watch some events
