I know that Baseball is not going to be played so thats a big bummer....

Their competing events are table tenis, boxing, women weight lifting and judo.
Spain brought in the biggest delegation out of 204 participating countries.

To correct a rather glaring omission, we need to add track and field to that list. The DR's only gold metalist ever, Felix Sanchez, will be competing again.

Also Tai Kwan Do and swimming

The U.S.A, China, Russia, Germany and Australia have bigger delegation than Spain.<!-- / message -->

I watched it on local TV at 8:08/080808 and saw some of my judo friends.
did you mention Sailing? Ra?l Aguayo, brother of a poster here, is there...

Actually the DR delegation is pretty slim, but all that are there have qualified and deserve to be there (with possible exception of S?nchez, who is hurt and will not make semis...)

The opening ceremony was awesome! - Congrats to the host country for a truly spectacular show. I've never seen anything like it. - I tried to watch as much as possible yesterday, but could only stay awake until the Parade of Nations. I was impressed with them all. I applauded when the Dominicans passed in review and cheered for the Americans.

This is a time for everyone to be proud.
