  2. 1) No, I didn't follow the development of the games at all. I feel pretty weird because everyone that I know have at least watched the sports they are interested in. But in my case I've seen nothing from the games except for the opening ceremony.

    2) As I haven't watched the Games I cannot tell a lot of memorable moments for me. But I guess that to know that the Argentinian Crismanich Sebastian won a Gold medal in Taekwondo is something to be very proud of!
    The opening ceremony was very spectacular too - the Olympic rings' fireworks in the sky were awesome! And all the special guests that were invited - from rock bands like Artic Monkeys, Duran Duran, Mr Bean to such thematic shows like a huge flying Voldemort from Harry Potter on the stage. It was a bit exaggerated though, but I think that's the reason why it's memorable!

  3. 1)no, i didn't follow the development of the games. I have only see one match of "las leonas" but nothing else.
    I wish i had see the end of the games but i was in Bariloche so i couldn't watch it.

    2) I can not say which were the most memorable moments in the olympic games but from what i have heared, the opening ceremony was extraordinary. I imagine that when "las leonas" received the silver medal it was a memorable moment, at least for Argentina. We should be proud of them because of all the effort they do.

  5. I'm afraid the video was taken down, Mariela!

    1. Yes, I followed it, just a little. I enjoyed watching the swimming and archery games.

    2. Actually, It's kind of a funny memory. I didn't know that archers have to hold the string of the bow up to their mouths, and I find the faces they make very funny. Let me illustrate: http://0.tqn.com/d/olympics/1/0/3/-/-/-/Technique.jpg

    I also liked when, in the closing ceremony, they showed the Freddie Mercury clip :)

  6. 1) No, I didn't follow the olimpic games. Only I watch TV at night so did not saw the news. Either, I'm not interested.

    2) Sincerely, I saw a little bit of the aperture, and I found very funny the moment that Mr. Bean seems that he participates. But in with the sports, I did not see anything.

  8. 1) Yes, i have follow many of the development of the games, the ones i were intreresed to. i enjoy watching swiming, weight-lifting, tennis and athletics and also see the hole show of the opening cermony !

    2) I think in three memorable parts of the olimpics. The match of Del Potro and Federer which it last minutes was nerve-wracking, then Crismanich who was the only one that wan a gold medal during this olimpic games for argentina and finally the last match of "las leonas" which was very intrsting.
