I have missed several and only managed to collect two (sheep/cycling and cow/rhythmic gymnastics) so far.<BR/><BR/>Actually, the televised time of 8:08pm is written as 20:08 based on the 24-hour convention.

The only Olympics event I am interested in watching is gymnastics.c.y. leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900208907853947465noreply@blogger.com
