What are your favorite Summer Olympic events to watch?

**Jonan** · 08-11-2008, 08:33 PM

I am curious to see what events people like to watch if any. If enough people respond it might be interesting so see if where some one lives influences the sports they like to watch.

My favorite events to watch are probably (in no order):

1. All Track & Field Events
2. Diving
3. Swimming events with Phelps
4. Basketball
5. Female Beach Volleyball

Speaking of which, did you see last night's relay? That was one intense race!

My list would look exactly like yours, except I would probably change Basketball to Boxing.

1. Hockey
2. Most track and field
3. Volleyball
4. Basketball
5. Some swimming
6. Judo
7. Wrestling

Of course, it really depends when I turn on the tv. I will just watch whatever is on unless it is one of the crap sports.

The ribbon floor exercise...though the ball is a close second.

But really I like watching most events except judged events (gymnastics, diving etc).

Same. I see judged events to be somewhat subjective. I actually had a discussion about this last night with some people.

Watching Phelps is my favorite. Male gymnastics is fun to watch as its incredible how strong those guys are. Female gymnastics are for pedophiles. Those girls are 16, unless of course its the Chinese--theyre 12 or younger.

I watched a little bit of diving last night and I am going to have to take that off my list. It got boring really quick. I'm looking forward to watching USA soccer tomorrow night I think.

Definitely Phelps for number 1 and women's beach volleyball second. And Santa does make a good point on gymnastics. When it comes on, I keep getting the feeling like Chris Hansen is going to walk in the room, turn the TV off, tell me to take a seat -- right over there, followed by asking me what I'm doing here.
