... well, then

That was a pretty goddamned impressive opening for the Olympics. Wow. So many levels of wow.

*waves a Philippine flag because I have to*

... how unexpected

Now, I usually don't get emotional over the Olympics. I wanna watch gymnastics, and swimming, and maybe basketball if the US team is gunning for a medal.

But... will someone please explain to me how the Latvian men's beach volleyball team beat the US men's team? What? I watched that match and it was... what. @____@ The Latvian team is placed second-to-last! The US team is the world champions!

HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN.
