No.

Been to South Korea twice, but no. I’m no going to be there at the time.

I’m sure it will be great, though.

I was at the Olympics in Korea last time and watched an American take the heavy weight gold metal from a Korean. I’ll never forget it. No chance of me going to this one though. I’m looking forward to watching it though.

I do wish to attend an Olympics but it’ll probably be the ones in Los Angeles

That was Ray Mercer.

The super heavyweight champion that year was Lennox Lewis. Hell of a lineup. Winning a gold medal at the Olympics is a very good sign a young man can be a top professional.

I have been to two summer games because I was living in the cities at the time: Montreal 1976 and Los Angeles 1984. They were fun. If I were in Korea I would consider going to the games. But I won’t travel for them.

That being said I’m a huge fan of the games, and I’ll definitely watch them on TV.

Actually, i was taking about tae kwon do. It was a huge embarrassment for the Koreans to not win the gold at a home Olympics in their national sport. My dad is convinced the only rwason he didn’t get stomped leaving was he had 5 year old me along.

Jimmy kim was the American medallist and got to meet him the day before and practice with the team.

I have a friend whose niece is in Korea (studying and/or teaching English I believe). The niece’s parents are combining a visit with their daughter with watching the Olympics.
They managed to get opening ceremony tickets along with some events.

I wish I could be there for the Olympics, but it just didn’t work out. I’m definitely disappointed; I’m in Korea for about month each year, but this February isn’t a good time due to my work and the kids’ school schedules. I did get to visit several of the event sites at multiple times (even went skiing there), just to see how the construction was going.

I highly recommend travel to Korea–it’s a friendly country and small enough that it’s easy to see a lot of it.
