You like?

Favorite events?

I like the basketball and a lot of the track and field.

I'll watch a decent bit but mostly the main stuff.

Usain Bolt is the athlete I want to watch the most.

I'll watch the swimming (with Americans), track events (100, 400, 200 and 4x1 will probably be the only ones) and the basketball.

Of course, I'll tune in whenever there is a hot chick on my TV, but that is not sport specific.

Yep. I like the sports that you never, ever see except for the Olympics, particularly handball and water polo.

I'll root for USA, but I don't think there is anything specific I want to watch. I like track and field but not enough to go out of my way to watch it. If I turn on the tv and it's on, I'll watch, but if it's on in the middle of the night I probably won't.

Summer Olympics are there just to remind us how much better the Winter Olympics are.

I like everything except for gymnastics, which is 40% of the broadcast. Other than that I will watch anything where USA Americans are kicking ass. I agree with Sheckler; Winter Olympics>Summer Olympics

I highly disagree regarding the winter Olympics. Other than hockey and speed skating I find the winter Olympics to be boring as hell.

Figure Skating ruins it like gymnastics does for the summer. But Luge, Bobsled, Skeleton, Downhill, GS are all solid events. Olympic hockey the best Olympic competition IMO.

That's why I don't like the Winter Olympics. Most of the sports consist of time trials. It's just not that exciting to me. I feel like they invent sports too, just to get more events. For isntance, luge and skeleton. Pretty much the same damn thing except one you are face up, the other you are face down lol. You have your various skiing events, which all pretty much come down to the same thing, make it down in the best time. Not to mention 2 man bobsled and a 4 man bobsled. The dumbest fucking sport is the marathon skiing. They have the marathon skiing, then they also have the marathon skiing where you stop at checkpoints to shoot targets with a rifle lol.

Agreed. As Kenny Powers said, "I play real sports, not try to be the best at excercising."
