It's coming soon! Olympic Games 27 July - 12 August
Here's a list of all the current summer games approved sports in contention for medals. Which sport are you looking forward to watching ... and who's the one to beat?
None. Unless I'm there it bores the hell out of me. I did glimpse Michael Whatever his name was on the news clips that year. The kid that won all the medals for swimming and got caught smoking some herb.
I am kind of surprised that two responses are .... "whatever"
I guess I am just a true sports fan .... and I admire the athletes for their dedication to excel at their chosen sport. Not to mention, this is an event, where parts of the world come together, regardless of politics or religion, for the sake of competition of the best of the best.
And, let's not forget ..... some of those athletic bodies, are fabulous to watch as they are Work of Arts!
My dad took me to the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta when I was a kid and I totally loved the experience. Actually the rowing events were very close to home and I got to see those too. I really loved seeing the track and field events, sprints, relay races, javelin & discuss throws, pole vaulting, long jumps, hurdles, etc. For me it is a treasured memory.
I dont usually watch the Olympics but I'm really looking forward to watching Gymnastics and Swimming this year. But personally I'm more a fan of the winter Olympics Winter spots are far more interesting in my opinion
But I'm sure the summer Olympics are going to be amazing as well.
It's such a shame that our hero Hickstead is no longer with us. Eric Lamaze has an ok mount for these Olympics but no match for Hickstead.
I also will be very curious to see how the Dressage event pans out. Germany bought the winning horse from the latest World Equestrian Games for $9.5 million Euro. It should be interesting to see how Totilas performs with the German team. He is quite the horse but $9.5 million Euro worth? That remains to be seen!
The night that changed my life, a four part series of a married man lusting after his co-worker
Even though I'm not an Olympic fan, it's difficult not to be excited by such a monumental event taking place just over an hour from home. I shall certainly support Great Britain and hope we bring home lots of medals !
Woops ! Forgot to answer the question earlier - Athletics will be my sport of interest.
I love the Summer Olympics (absolutely HATE Winter Olympics, southern boy) I'll watch whatever I can. Gymnastics, swimming, diving, track & field, beach volleyball... those are my go to events. I could watch the Olympics 24/7. Love that shit.

I to will be watching the equestrian for the exact same reasons as above!
I live in the uk and see the olympics as a waste of money in a time where the UK really needs investment elsewhere.
I'll be surprised if I'll watch anything other than the equestrian events, we will however be watching the Olympic torch as it makes it's way along the road that my garden backs into...we have plans to move the kids climbing frame and perch at the top with a glass of wine in order to see over the wall as it goes past - none of this crowding in a packed street nonsense for us!
I really like the Olimpic Games, probably i dont watch half of the things but its the only time that all the countries come together to compete in a peacefull manner!!
I love Gymnastics (i did Rhythmic gymnastics till i was 14 and love love love watching it)
Equestrian
Fencing
Water polo (a totally eye candy!!)
Judo
I like both the summer and winter Olympics. It's one of my favorite things to watch when it's going on. I'll have it in the background whenever there is a tv around.
I'll get wrapped up in so many events I usually don't care about. I like watching the different countries excel in events that they have a history at doing well at. Like Thai women and weightlifting or Jamaicans and sprinting. I like to see if they keep the traditions going. I also like to see countries like Korea do well in tae kwon do (spelling?) as its a sport they invented. I think it was them.. Maybe I'm wrong but the point is I like to see certain countries excel in sports popular in their own country. Like. Bulgaria and water polo or the USA and basketball.
I also like to see America get the most medals cause I'm American I suppose plus we throw a lot of money at our athletes. It's always interesting to see Australia, china and the other powerful countries give us a run for our money.
Countries like Japan are fun to watch too because they have some really great athletes for the size of their country.
Have got tickets for several of the events and can't wait - will be great for London, even better for the UK. The worlds best on our door step - how anyone can say world class sport is boring - once in a life time opportunity!!

HAA HAA... its Michael Phelps.. the guy has the highest number gold in individual event (8 golds) and all u remember him is for smoking weed!!! .. pheww.... Phelps would surely have been weeping his eyes out
Definitely tennis and track (long distance AND sprints), um, gymnsatics too, some of the swimming and yeah, other parts. Do people really not watch the 100m finals?! Ooh, I can't wait for the 4 by 100m relays!
