Well, after an unbelievably bad opening ceremony – postponed here by NBC’s choice of broadcasting in prime-time via tape delay – the 2012 Olympics are finally underway. There were a few good moments in the spectacle, and commentators are quick to point them out as they avoid the obvious; taken as a whole, the $42 million opening ceremony was a dismal flop.
The first gold of these Olympics went to China’s Siling Yi in the Women’s 10 meter air rifle competition. Her victory was almost overshadowed by the media interest in eight-month-pregnant Nur Suryani Mohamed Taibi of Malasia – pictured above - who competed but was eliminated early. Word is that she is expecting a daughter on September 3.
