Togo, missed. Turkey, in white suits. Trinidad and Tobago, in cherry red blazers. Chad, which doesn't seem to translate into anything. We just heard "Chad, Chad, Chad!" for the announcers. Czech Republic, in tan blazers and blue ties, and hats with these two colours. A country I am seeing with a red/white flags with a star, but I missed the name. Yemen, in mostly black. Getting down to the end. only a couple more countries, then Greece. The Phillipines, in white, with three women in magenta robes. Finland, in dusty grey. (F must be one of the last lettes in the greek alphabet.) Fiji, in light blue shirts with dark blue shorts. Chile, in all tan suits. Hong Kong, in white blazers and blue pants. GREECE, the finale. LOTS of cheering, obviously. Big flag held horizontally. 441 Greek athletes, biggest contingent ever. Organized cheer going on, but I can't hear it/understand it.

I can't say that Roots scored a home run with this outfit either.

Here's a photo of the US team where you can see the whole outfit, including the horrid (IMO) blue sneakers:

Last post -- from opening ceremony. Ethereal is the word that comes to mind to sum that part of the ceremony up:

The USA team looks like it is wearing something that would be more appropriate for "Back to School" wear for elementary school children... but looks ridiculous on adults. (Just my opinion...but someone needs their butt kicked for approving this get up...it's laughable and embarrassing!)

WoW those rings look beautiful...I'll look foward to seeing it when they finally put it on here! I'm more a winter than summer olympics person but still looking foward to it. Though I expect a lot of VCR use to make it through lol. The coverage has never been the same since ABC lost it IMHO. They always made you feel informed and you got to know the athletes etc. Wish David Letterman would send his Mom again. She was a hoot IMHO!
