Subscribe by email:I’m not into sports but I like watching the Olympics. It’s inspiring! My favorite event has to be women’s gymnastics. I don’t understand that much about the point system or what the judges are looking for. I’m simply amazed at what these athletes can do. I admit that I’m wincing on occasion but I’m worried they might hurt themselves! But I admire the dedication of these Olympians as they strive to go higher, faster and stronger.

I’m not into the Olympics, either season… but when it comes to the summer, it’s all about baseball for me. Still hopeful the Mets maybe, possibly, could turn it around…)

I love the gymnastics! When I was a kid I had the Mary Lou Retton leotard. Our team was amazing this year! I am looking forward to the rest of the events tonight
I don’t follow the Olympics either but I am fascinated by the gymnastics. Have to hand it to the gal who won. She was amazing!
My favourite is the 100 metres sprint. It’s hard to believe how fast those men can run!
I’m not that big of an Olympic fan, but I do try and watch the gymnastics; what those athletes can make thier bodies do is amazing!!
Ooh..it’s hard to pick just one. I love watching most of it!
I’d guess if I could pick only one it would be the men’s swimming. Any of the events are exciting to watch.
I used to love gymnastics and figure skating. Last couple of Olympics I couldn’t generate any excitement for any sport.
My fav event is Beach Volleyball… I have also been watching alot of the swimming events, indoor volleyball, & gymnastics.
I like gymnastics.
women’s beach volleyball
I love watching the Olympics. I alove the opening ceremony.
I don’t usually watch sports except for at this time. I like the idea of all these countries come together to compete.
I love the glamor sports women’s gymnastics and synchronized swimming best. I love to watch it all (swimming track…) except I wonder about badminton. That one I just can’t get into.
I love watching the Olympics. It’s truly incredible. Swimming would be my favorite, but I find myself watching all kinds of sports I generally would not.
I don’t follow the Olympics either but the gymnastics have always fascinated me also. Probably because I am such a klutx and their grace and flexibility truly amaze me.
I enjoy watching the Olypmics, though I never watch the opening show, it just doesn’t hold my interest usually. I LOVE the diving, water polo and gymnastics competitions
I need to watch the track and field competitions, but haven’t had a chance yet.
I saw a few of the swimming finals–amazing!
Synchronized swimming is very pretty. I can’t imagine how much they train to make it look so effortless!
haven’t seen the diving. Hated the diving board when I was a kid.
I also haven’t seen the water polo. Have no idea how that is played. I should tune in!!
I like watching the swimming and gymnastics. I’ve also been interested in the fencing and track field events.
I liked swimming, women’s gymnastics, equestrian jumping, and beach volleyball.
