While 'Team GB' (ghastly title) are sweeping all before them on the BBC's self-styled 'Super Saturday' in Beijing, my sporting attentions are turned a bit closer to home - it's off to Easter Road shortly for my first home game of the season.
In years gone by the visit of Falkirk would not have caused too many palpitations, but we are looking at a decidedly underwhelming Hibs team at the moment and expectations are not high. By all accounts Hibs didn't play too badly at Kilmarnock last week, but Falkirk dominated Rangers for long periods in their game and they could be quite a useful side. If Hibs can score early (scoring at all would be a bonus) I think we can go on and win, but if we fall behind I'm not convinced the current side has what it takes - guile, invention, fighting spirit - to come back.
All will be revealed at 4:45, but I'm predicting a draw.
Incidentally I finished an impressive 9000+th in last week's BBC Scotland Predictor game so there is room for improvement. To use a couple of favourite football cliches, though, it is 'early doors' so I am not 'sick as a parrot' just yet.
The picture above is the Hibs support in happier times - singing their way to victory in the League Cup final in 2007. It all seems like a very long time ago!
