Here we have Team Ingersoll at the Opening Ceremonies. One thing we've learned about Team Ingersoll is that it is impossible to take a picture with everybody's eyes open, or without Reed looking terrified.
Our first event of the day is Insane Gyrating. JR will be performing a routine with a 7.0 difficulty rating. His routine includes moves of shaking, dancing, and karate kicks at the same time. This takes years of training to achieve. Look how his hands move so quickly they only appear as blurs on film. JR has persisted in his training, even as his mom and dad have time and again told him to "Stop and Calm Down".
Let's switch over to the Living Room Nest where we've got quite a race going on. We've just started the finals of the Men's 200m Bouncy Chair Rock. As you can see ,Kyle (in white), is off to a great start. See how his left leg is extended high in the air, while he keeps his arms close to his body. This makes him quite aerodynamic and can really get that chair rocking. Reed on the other hand, isn't having a good day. He seems to be freezing up, and only able to suck his thumb. That's a tough break for Reed, hopefully he can overcome his nerves, as he's a favorite in some of our later events.
Back to the Ingy National Bedroom Stadium we see JR finishing up his Floor Exercise routine. It looks like he's nailed his last move! A forward roll! Can you believe it! The crowd is going wild. He's stuck the landing! He's stuck the landing!
We've talked with Reed and he says he's had some time to mentally prepare himself for his next event. If we only knew what was going through that head of his. Here he goes...Will it be a gold for Reed in Men's Toe in the Mouth Freestyle? He's done it! Toe directly in the mouth! Now we just have to wait for the judges scores...
Here we are in the Hallway Cube as Kyle prepares for the Men's 400m Tijuana Taxi Sprint. It looks like he may be a little distracted by something. Can we zoom in on that? Yes, it appears Kyle may be distracted by an Eeyore toy located on the Tijuana Taxi. Let's just hope this doesn't blow his chance at getting on the podium.
Over at the Living Room Nest, Reed has a big lead on the competition in the Men's 800m Obstacle Crawl. This one is really tricky. He's going to have to crawl around the Living Room Nest without stopping to chew on the toys located strategically around the room, let's watch and see if he can do it!

Why ever would I want to watch the stuff they are showing on TV when we get our own personal show with our favorite team!!! I'll bet the opening ceremonies were high above any expectations.

Bravo to the Ingy Olympics. Now if we can just get those endorsements rolling in!! Maw-maw
Hey Jan, I love the Ingy Olympics. I haven't watched much of the events, due to being out of town. However now I don't need to watch NBC, the Ingy Olympics were the best. And your commentary is fantastic--sounds like you have seen a few moments of the Beijing event. Lu
