   It's nearly 43 EST hours until the Olympics begin. I'm really only concerned with watching it not only because I'm a track runner, but because I'm curious to see who shall conduct the Olympic Fanfare. If John Williams is composing the theme, it will make the entire opening ceremony for me. I know most of you would rather care to know about the musical part rather than the athletic part, though I shall post these pictures from past Olympics for everyone to enter the Olympic spirit.

Go Canada!

Though I'm 90% sure some shit will happen there because it's China and if a terrorist attack were to happen it will hit A LOT of people.

it's probably cuz he knew no one would come in a thread about the olympics

KefkaticFanatic

Well then we would obviously not want it here then, so might as well delete it.
