Normally there is a crazy energy around the Olympics and it is a special time - people talking about and anticipating opening ceremonies, competitions, etc. I couldn't tell you if the opening ceremonies were today or tomorrow and what time they are at. Couldn't care less.
Tokyo obviously suffered from some of these issues, but these Beijing ones feel like the Alibaba knockoff of the normal Olympics. Even watching the figure skating tonight....something just feels off that I can't put my finger on. Shame for the competitors though. Hopefully it improves as the games go on (as much as I'd like to see it crash and burn for the CCP's sake)

I watched the figure skating, too, and it felt like I was watching practice. Quality of the performances were great, but yes, something is weirdly off.
Also, is it not crazy the Chinese somehow managed to prevent the video of their figure skater falling (Zhu Li, I think) to propagate on the net? I cannot find it and that's fataed up.
