    I checked CBC news mobile app and apparently Canada is tired for first place in combined medal count. What a glorious day!

    Am I along in feeling that this is one of the least hyped summer Olympics in a long long time?

    London was good and Beijing was off the chart with its production/showcase.

    Depends on your definition of hyped because there was a lot of news about it leading into the start - none of it good.

    That was a sweet bike race today, constant attacks. The commentary was horrible though. So many crashes and changes in the lead.

    Watched all of the 48kg women's weightlifting today. Pretty awesome - used CBCs app. Finally we can watch the events we want when they're on.

    I always loved watching weightlifting but it was never on enough.

    I was watching this too and it was a great race!

    I tried watching archery, team competition but it won't work on CBC's website

    USA was absent. All I saw at the opening ceremonies were Russians in suits.

    To be fair, I think the NK gymnast just thought it'd be cool to smile at the funny rectangular bear.
