The bu...Comment that almost got deleted from Mrs FF<br />The building is beautiful. I have to see it once it is opened to the public...<br /><br />Don't even get me started on the commentators at the rowing and the Chad Le Clos wins... And each time I see re-runs of both events I get more upset. Wonder why they couldn't fanthom Chad winning because he was just better than Phelps in that particular event and saying Chad won because Phelps made a 'rookie mistake'. And the rowing commentator who kept saying Australia was vying for the gold when it was obvious that it was SA, there's a difference between no 5 (SA) and no 6 (Aug). Can you tell I was irked :(<br /><br />Plus the commentators seem shocked that the medal winners sing along to the anthem. I'm more shocked that the others don't sing along. It's all about national pride :)cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788508986252339771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-85278778944848240772012-08-04T22:09:18.341+02:002012-08-04T22:09:18.341+02:00That is one amazing looking building!

And on the Olympic note...What an awesome building!<br /><br />And on the Olympic note, my husband - originally from former Yugoslavia - actually struggles a bit to watch the games. When he was growing up, anyone who made the Olympic team was a hero...and they were remembered forever if they medaled. Here, we send 500-some odd athletes...very few people even know them, aside from the front runners like Phelps. I still love the games, as it's all I know, but it's hard for my hubby to get into them, with the way many Americans count overall medals and such.<br /><br />I'm glad to hear Phelps was so gracious. Despite the trouble he got into a couple of years ago, he seems like a nice young man.MandyE (Twin Trials and Triumphs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02510155408149227364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-56039678893990293972012-08-04T08:14:30.497+02:002012-08-04T08:14:30.497+02:00I watched that live as its the official Olympic ch...I watched that live as its the official Olympic channel ( we have uk tv here in Germany )<br />Chad's Dad was so proud he was bursting :)<br />Germany is also doing so well in the Olympics, whenever we lose against them, I get my nose rubbed in!<br />It's awesome for South Africa, I share in the pride and joy!Marcellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11304830132939839454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-30338846093208826552012-08-04T02:40:22.684+02:002012-08-04T02:40:22.684+02:00Loved watching Chad le Clos race.
