Yeah, that's possible! China has the biggest team of sporters in there, so they have the most shot on medals! And I didn't really know that name, it's Brons in dutch, so luckly it's not that far from english.
And I haven't seen the jumping today, so I hope that our dutch guy did a good job! I just saw that he stands 28... well, too bad!

It's okay! It's the eventing that's been hold right now! 3 things that they have to do till the final results are up. Dressage has been hold over 2 days, Cross Country was yesterday and the jumping part is soon. Than there is also the normal jumping (I'm definally going to follow that, we have some great stars in that part!) and the dressage, Grand Prix. I love the Grand Prix the most, just because it's what I do too (on a MUCH lower level) and I'm scared for those big jumps. But with Dressage, this year it's definally great, because the team from the netherlands is going to try and defeat Germany, who hasn't been defeated for the last 50 years or something like that in the team competitions! And with the Grand Prix on music, I will be in front of the tv (or my laptop to watch it totally) because that's my all time favorite part! Anky is my most favorite woman there and last time I was so hoping that she would win and hopefully she can again this year!! I love it so much and I just can't miss it!
haha, and I think this long part about horseriding, also shows how much I like it haha

OMG, I'm almost stressed! The Netherlands are on top with the team game of horse riding now! And only Isabel, Anky's only concurrent in the whole games, is up at 4.45 later, so I have to wait till than to know if Germany is going to win the team games again, or that the Netherlands will finally beat them again!
Oh, and I'm sorry about Great Britain. I hope they still stay in the top 5!!

darn.... we lost! Well, we lost from Germany... again! I really hoped that this year The Netherlands would finally beat Germany with the team games of horseriding. But it sucks that we didn't! Okay, second is much better as fourth like last time, but I hate that we couldn't beat Germany!

I didn't see the trampolining yesterday, I forgot that it was one. But I just saw that it will be live on internet here later. It just sucks, because right now, the biggest horseriding competition is on, so I really want to see that! I'm sorry, but I would love to know how it was, Kris!!

Well china won in both Men's and women's trampoline. I thought the male deffo deserved it but in my opinion the woman from Canada (2nd place) was better than the chinese winner. I still loved watching tho.

It was announced last week that footie ace David Beckham will be jetting off to China to participate in the Olympics closing ceremonies representing London — the next city to host the Summer Olympics in 2012.
The 33-year-old soccer stud just blogged about how excited he is to participated in the Beijing closing ceremonies: “The Galaxy have the weekend off, so I’m going to fly to Beijing for the handover ceremony as the Olympic torch is handed to London at the end of the Games. I’m honored to be invited and, as someone who is passionate about the Olympics coming to my home city, I’m incredibly proud to be part of the ceremony on Sunday. I’ll let you know how it goes next week.”

It's over... officially are the Olympics closed now and the ceremony is over too! It was great, altho not as great as the opening! The london Part and David Beckham was great!!
I really hate that it is over now! I really enjoyed the last few weeks. It's the event that I maybe like the most! All those different sports! Wow, it was great! And we got 7 times Gold, that's one of the best results we ever had!
And congratulations to Great Britian! It's great that you become 4th!!!
Well, I can't wait till London! I hope that I will be a photographer on that event! Officially! We only have to wait... 4 years, but I thought the same about Beijing, so time will fly by and before we know it, it's beginning again!!

Beijing Olympics Most-Watched U.S. TV Event
All those hours in front of the television this month have made Olympics fans part of something historic: The Beijing Games were the most-watched U.S. television event of all time.
Over 16 days of coverage, 211 million viewers watched the Games on NBC Universal's broadcast network and cable channels, Nielsen Media Research reports.
Two million more people tuned in than watched the 1996 Atlanta Games, the previous record-holder. The numbers did not include the 17th day of Olympics coverage, which added to the figures.
Any viewer who watches six minutes of coverage can be included in the figures. NBC's broadcast network averaged 27.7 million viewers per night.
The Hollywood Reporter noted that some viewers questioned whether the Olympics were truly the most-watched event, citing such previous ratings blockbusters as the 1977 airing of Roots and the 1969 Apollo moon landing.
But NBC said the growing population — and increases in the number of television owners — created a larger audience for the Games.
The network will soon find out if it's relentless promotion of its shows during the Games will translate into bigger ratings this fall.
