I'm not a big Olympics fan generally speaking, but I have to say this has been a very nice event so far, the French have done well with the venues (other than the river contamination and fashion show).

I also read that the swimmers were having a tougher time against the current of the Seine.

Some swimmers had to drop out due to Seine illnesses.

Dave, I hope Donna saw the jumping competition today. It was wild and crazy! Never seen so many penalties and other mistakes. The course was very challenging.

I wish that the Olympics had a "term limit" so others would have a chance to advance. I also it was ALL amateurs. Professional basketball, soccer, tennis, etc makes me not want to watch.
