I ♥ the Olympics.

There are all these atheletes and swimmers and gymnasts, a lot of them practically children, and you know they've practised all their lives for this (while dreaming of Emil Zatopek and Nadia Comaneci) - to be in the Olympics. Most of them won't win medals, but it doesn't matter, because they're at the Olympics, and that's awesome.

I agree.

Stating the obvious is not commentary. I don't play badminton (but I applied some Tennis knowledge to understand the match) but I can figure that one out. *massive eyeroll* I could've done a better job! :D

It's a pity NONE of the five million sports channels are interested in the Olympics - or has DD kept the rights to itself like it tends to do? Either way, this sucks. The English commentators are incoherent half the time and the Hindi commentators sound like they're half-asleep, or tremendously bored with this impossible task they've been set. :(

I want another Federer vs. Nadal final please!

Roger v. Nadal. Hmm. I think I might develop hypertension if that were to happen. Lol. :P

Stupid DD. Would it hurt to revamp DD Sports a *little* bit?

And yeah, true. But I've always had a weakness for Clash of the Titans kind of matches in tennis - I grew up watching Steffi Graff vs. Monica Seles and Pete Sampras vs. Boris Becker (or Andre Agassi). Federer vs. Nadal is like the new Graff vs. Seles. :D
