i really wish they would show the Taekwondo and Judo events.

 

I thought the coverage of the 2000 Olympics was horrible. Maybe it's just me, but I expect 24/7 coverage. I don't have the time or money to make it to the games, but I sure expect more than highlight clips on Sportscenter.

 

Don't mean to rain on your parade, but I started an Olympics related thread several days ago. I am afraid that with the entry of professional athletes, the Olympics is no longer as exciting as it used to be and therefore there will be less interest in the games from now on.

 

^^^ Nope, if I haven't seen it, then I'd still see myself as the first.

The Olympic is still very exciting to me. I hope to go to the next one, most likely.

 

You mean the one in Beijing, China? Should be very crowded, because you and a billion Chinese would all want to be there.

By the way, I am sure I was not the first to post about this Olympic. And it is still exciting, but it lost something for me when professional atheletes were allowed to compete.

 

ATHENS 2004

 

No, I meant that if I haven't seen your post or other posts about this topic, then I still see myself as the first to have started it.

There's nothing wrong with allowing pro athletes to compete, as long as they're good enough and qualified. The Olympics is all about being the best, and if anyone is good enough to compete, he/she should be allowed, no matter if that person is considered a pro athlete or not. Afterall, aren't the Olympic athletes considered professional, since they are at the top of their games and it is there profession?
