What a way to start getting pumped up for the game, and specifically track and field. Ashton Eaton just set the world record in the decathlon with 9,039 points and became only the 2nd person to ever score more than 9,000 points.
Anyways, what are you guys most excited for?

Basketball, Usain Bolt and whatever other stories pop up along the way.

Best part had to be Beach letting him go by for the win. Awesome.
Looking forward to seeing if Robby Andrews can make it in the 1500.

Absolutely LOVE the Summer Olympics! So much variety and I surprisingly get enjoyment out of things like swimming and gymnastics.

This will be the only thing that disappoints me. After 2008, the only way for Phelps to go is down. Then you hear about his struggles in recent tournaments and his lack of commitment.

Still one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed in sports. Grateful I was able to watch it go down.

Crazy how fast times goes. Doesn't feel like four years since the last time around.

That's what I kept saying until a few months ago.
Oh and beach volleyball is a lot of fun to watch as well.
