Open Thread: Olympics 8/8/08, Opening Ceremonies

I'm not sure if they'll be showing any sports tonight on NBC, but I imagine the large majority of the coverage will be of the opening ceremonies.  With that in mind, get ready to see a bunch of choreographed Chinese people launching fireworks, which were invented in China.

I heard on Project Runway that Ralph Lauren designed the U.S. Olympic teams clothing for the Opening Ceremonies.  I can't wait to critique those with Tim Gunn's critical eye.

 U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

If you guys didn't know

the guy who is carrying the American Flag for the opening ceremonies is a really good story.

Eight years ago, Lopez Lomong didn’t even have a country. Now he’ll be carrying the flag for his adopted nation, leading the U.S. Olympic team at opening ceremonies Friday night.

Lomong, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, won a vote of team captains Wednesday to earn the honor of leading America’s contingent into the 90,000-seat Bird’s Nest Stadium.

The 1,500-meter track runner will be the flagbearer only 13 months after becoming a U.S. citizen.

He was born in Sudan, separated from his parents at the point of a gun at age 6, and with the help of friends, he escaped confinement and made it to a refugee camp in Kenya. In 2001, he was brought to America as part of a program to relocate lost children from war-torn Sudan.

“I feel great,” Lomong said Wednesday night. “I feel happy, honored. I’m feeling so blessed to get an opportunity to present the United States of America, to present the United States flag in front of my team.”

Ah

I didn’t mean to imply that it wasn’t on other providers, only that to watch that channel on Cox, it appears that one must have their HD service.

Which stinks. Not because of the basketball, which I hate anyway, but because the soccer channel is the same way, and I don’t have an HD TV. I hate you, Cox Cable!
