What were your favorite events?
I enjoy following all the athletics in general, a bit of rowing (I didn't see that much), and in the team sports, handball and beach volley

What were the most memorable moments?
Umm, the two marathons probably. See below.

Which athletes impressed you the most?
In the marathons, I'm just impressed by anyone who can actually finish the race But in the women's marathon, Paula Radcliffe dropping out and those happy three winners were memorable. In the men's marathon, that little incident with de Lima and the fact that the medals were given during the closing ceremony made it pretty memorable too.

What were the moments you enjoyed that you feel were under-rated and didn't get the attention they deserved?
I don't know, I wasn't really following anything closely.

What was the most intriguing controversy?
Well, I got the impression that lots of athletes were involved in doping scandals, and that on top of that, they had to change the winners around a few times after the competition because of judging errors (team riding).
