I happen to love the winter Olympics much more. Sorry!

Hey grammy - You've gotta love the Jamacian Bobsled team.

I used to like gymnastics for the elegance of the sport, but I never really understood the scoring system. (Same for figure skating and dancing). When I was a kid my youth group did track and field, so I liked that. I was a high jumper (because I was tall, not because I was good at it LOL), but disappointing because after they taught me how to high jump a new method came about and everybody was jumping a lot higher.

So now I like soccer.

Loving the Olympics....Track cycling and Athletics...Cant get enough of it all...Think we're putting on a great games...Love how it brings people together.

I enjoy almost all of it. I do not, however, like soccer. I tried to watch but it's like watching paint dry.

Love it. Love all of it, except the beach volleyball...sorry, lance.....

I find it inspiring on many levels. I love seeing people reach their potential, and beyond. I think the human body is a wonder. And I love the way it brings people together, helps us overcome our petty differences for a while.

Lots of good memories tied-up in watching the Olympics; very few bad ones.

I do like to see the competition of it. A lot can be accomplished when we challenge ourselves. *I* however would probably medal in the lesser known Games with things like the 4 hour dash, the log jump, poor vault, triouchathon, stuff like that.

LOL!!!

PT, I was just thinking the same thing, last night!!!....me, in slow motion, negotiating the town traffic, getting what I need from WalMart, and returning the shopping carts to their little sheds.......

Complete with Olympic theme music playing softly in the backround...or better yet, The theme from 'Chariots of Fire'.....

hehe,, some days I could gold in gym-nastiEs

PepperMan - I don't get the gymnastics scoring either. Does anyone? I just wait until they award the medals.

Wynfrith - It appears that the athletes are enjoying your hospitality as well. I read where men's birth control items are having record sales at stores near the athletes village.

bagab - I agree on the soccer thing. I went to a match once, and wild jorses couldn't drag me to another one.

PeppersTeddy - I can see you winning the lead metal at all of the events you mentioned. :)

It is nice seeing the world being brought together.

Skies - If we ask the International Olympic Commitee real nice, maybe they will put in the Walmart Rely you speak of in 2016.

Ha! I can imagine all the athletes, wheels flying off rolling along the parking lot and there's skies *chariots of fire* hair flying in the wind ahead of all of them.

With respect to all of our British friends, I understand that the Drunken Pub Crawl is more popular than going to the events for the tourists.

Women's gymnastics are my favorite to watch.

I basically cannot let myself watch them, winter or summer, because of persistent addiction issues that tend to bite me (and hard) with anything.

However, I have to say that if I did watch them, the men's 100m, 200m, and 4x100m would be of particular interest. While I can't imagine it actually happening, I'm really intrigued to see if one Usain Bolt (the fabulous Jamaican sprinter) can add to his already jaw-dropping 7 official world records.
