    Default The Olympics what will u watch?

    As a former gymnast ill def watch the gymnastics. I like most of the individual sports such as diving. I dont really watch swimming or the track sports.

    So what sports will u be watching??

    I'm gonna try and watch the equestrian events, gotta find out when they're on. NBC has the Olympics on like 50 channels so I should be able to find it!

    Agreed. The only thing I might watch is the cross-country equestrian stuff, which has some of the best crashes you'll ever find.

    Since the fall of communism and the admission of professionals, the Olympics hasn't been the same.

    mostly swimming, gymnastics, track and field, and equestrian (my fav).

    my issue is that the equestrian all gets relegated to the second tier channels that i dont get.....grrrr! i'm hoping i can get a friend who does get the channel to tivo it for me.

    HOw can ANYONE not watch the olympics w/o watching Track and Field. Ok, so I'm watching that, basketball, gymnastics (I have weak arms, so I envy them) and boxing.

    One of my grandfathers boxers is over there in a match. He's a 17 y/o kid. I wish my grandad could be there to coach him. It sucks...he helped him get this far, and then the U.S. Olympic team has their 'own' coaches to train the boxers. Well, WTF about my grandad? If he hadn't taken this kid in, and trained him, I guarantee he would've be in the olympics..

    Ok sorry, end rant!!!

    For sure, I'll be watching the basketball, track events, tennis, and swimming. I'll probably also catch some of the track cycling, rowing, volleyball (indoor and beach), and maybe some gymnastics as well.

    One of my sayings (paraphrased from "Dodgeball") is "If it's almost a sport, I'll watch it."

    I'm gonna watch the athletes at all the outdoor events hacking and wheezing on all that fine Beijing air.

    Truthfully, I like the winter Olympics a lot better.

    I love figure skating, gymnastics, and boxing. If I get a chance I'll watch them, though I'll probably be too busy to watch any of it.

    I dont normally 'do' the olympics, but that opening ceremony was riveting. I like the pretty events, gymnastics, diving, horsies.,. the 'sporty' ones bore me...

    holy hell the opening ceremony was fantastic!

    i spent some time in beijing in 2006 and loved it so much that i consider it a second home (that i have yet to return to), so watching the olympics now is very special to me. especially since it's the year of the rat and i'm born in a rat year.

    anyway: swimming, diving, gymnastics and anything unusual (trampoline), or that showcases the landscape (mountain biking near the great wall/ming tombs). love it, love it, love it. i wish i had ti-vo. or a vcr.
