In a chat over breakfast, the 25-year-old Hoshina admitted he represented  the Philippines in the qualifiers leading to the London Games because he has more chances of making it than competing in Japan where good, tough judokas abound.

“Small chance in Japan,” Hoshina said in halting English. “There (in the Philippines) easy.”

LOL ...

Mr Bean At The Olympic 2012 Opening!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVM0FzHlDVI

watched the live broadcast last night.... 

nakakatuwa....  typical english teley humor... 

[dcv1979]

McCartney singing live is really awesome!

comparing with the opening of london vs beijing, what are your opinions?

my personal opinion, beijing showed their enourmous wealth and manpower and gave the best show on earth for the audience both in house and televiewers while london used technology and made the audience a part of the show, therefore looking good for the televiewers.  beijing had you focused in the field alone, while london had you focusing on different parts of the stage for there were tons of things going on at the same time.

i liked chinas production overall, except for 1 portion of the show where london showed them their ace.... mr bean. pwede narin yung 007 part.

while beijing was a cultural show for everybody, london was a part theatre, part movie,part musical and part concert.

but nothing would beat athens' 2004 olympic torch lighting... that was the best and creative way of lighting the olympic torch ive ever seen...

I think the barcelona olympic torch lighting was just as awesome. 

[lithium_deuteride]

Arrow shot from a bow to light up the cauldron, that was the best.  I believe that was Barcelona.

The Brits know they cannot match the Chinese for spectacle.  So they give us the next best thing -rock n roll. 

[Waxx]

i stand corrected then, i meant the barcelona olympic torch lighting all along.. 
1992 usa basketball dream team and the 1992 torch lighting... best olympic event to be remembered by far..

Just a non-sense (but kinda funny) question: What will be the Opening Ceremony if the Philippines became the host of the Olympics?

Sa gitna ng stage may inuman session!

[Philjonc]

Basketball, USA vs France on AKTV ngayon live

[Verbl Kint]

China hasn't lost a beat. Even if they're not hosting the Games, they still seem to have a stranglehold on many of the events.

Hope we win a medal this year. I'm a bit disappointed that our amateur boxing has failed to catch up to the rest of the world.

China has a rich tradition of being a force in international competition.

most pinoy boxers want to follow the steps of manny pacquiao rather than mansueto evlasco. it's all about going pro and making money. most of these boxers come from poverty so you really can't blame them. and the way the government chokes the budget for our national athletes, that pretty much limits their choices, is it true we only have one boxer in the olympics?

Too bad they don't know that ... for example Muhammad Ali is/was an Olympian? Mayweather?

...

Yes hopefully when the time comes the goverment can also focus on Sports, but apparently after the SONA, looks like its not yet a priority.
