It was wonderful and it brings me sadness to see it all ending. This is by far the best Olympics that I've ever seen. The amazing part is that the closing ceremony was just as great as the opening ceremony. It took over 1 million volunteers to run the Beijing Olympics and it was just magnificent. The USA took home the most medals but China took home the most gold medals, both of which makes me very happy. Michael Phelps is now a 14 times Olympic Medalist, and it was a lot of fun watching him swim in all of those competitions.
I also really enjoyed watching the Jamaican runner by the name of Bolt. He is such an entertainer and it's fun to watch him have such a good time winning all of those gold medals. All in all it was a wonderful experience watching the 2008 Beijing Olympics, even though I was only watching it on t.v.

couldnt watch much of the Olympics, esp. since they never actually broadcast what i was interested to see, women's gymnastics for example (both rhythmic and artistic) or synchronized swimming....not to mention that they didnt broadcast a single tennis match until the semi-finals.
but at least i can say im glad about the outcome of the tennis part...Rafael Nadal won the gold medal...couldnt have wished for anything better.
as for other sports, didnt really have any favourites...though i must say that Jamaica has definitely produced extremely great runners....they were amazing!
