I wasn't overly excited about the games in the beginning but I also wasn't overly negative about them either. The luge accident was tragic. The design of the track was terrible and was indeed an accident waiting to happen. The opening ceremony was embarassing with the malfunction of the torch arm. However, I have to admit that once the games started, I was drawn in and am starting to enjoy them. I love the daily fireworks which I can view from my apartment. I like being able to step out and seeing the excitement on everyone's faces in the crowd. I'm looking forward to watching an event or 2. It's not something I would like to have 365 days a year. However, for the 3 weeks of a lifetime, I like it.
