David Boudia was amazing! I'm also glad that Daley got a second chance to do his first dive because of the distraction of flash photography. Some fans can be so brainless, I'm sure everyone was aware that flash photography was not allowed.

Team Italy after defeating Serbia
Right now I'm watching the Final Men's Water Polo and my team is losing! Croatia is ahead 7-4 against Italy. I'm not a fan of the east europeans. It's enough that Serbia won the Bronze. More importantly, I just can't find any sexy pics of these guys. I guess it would be too gay. ::)
Croatia Wins the Gold!

OMG! I'm watching an interview with Princes Harry and Williams on Canadian television. The interviewer is the same who interviewed the Canadian athletes throughout the games. That Harry is so cute! (Take off your shirt!)
Sheriff Roland:
Closing ceremonies are nearly over and ... my impression ... too much of nothing (We Will Rock You' should never be sung without their true anthem 'We Are the Champions'). I must admit I've been away from pop culture for some twenty years but, were those acts really the best of GB? Where's Bowie or Elton John? The opening ceremonies were vastly superior to the closing ceremonies.
And as for the Rio presentation ... I didn't know they were into drag queen wannabees (or were those actually women?). Too much low tek flash, not enough substance. The only thing I could relate to in their show was Pelee, and he seemed as out of place in this presentation as Mohamed Ali did in the opening ceremonies.
Though I don't know who Eric Idle is (Is he one of the Monty Python Gang?), I did enjoy his bit - some. And the all male chorus during the lowering of the olympic flag - they were nice too.
Who was that boy quartet at the extinguishing of the flame? - nice song. Also liked the use of the Phoenix in extinguishing the flame.
Now they're concluding with The Who. Not a bad choice. At least all surviving members participated.

I am loving it! The tribute to John Lennon made me cry and I jumped around the room when George Michael came on.
Such a fun closing ceremony - and such great music. UK has produced the best music in the world.
Great show!
