What is your favorite Summer Olympic event to watch?
The London Olympics is coming up soon, what event are you looking forward to?
Volleyball and fencing. I want to stick with one familiar sport and learn about a new one.
ah fencing! I don't know why, but whenever its on I always get distracted and watch it.
Rowing - I really don't know why as I never rowed actually (except for dragon boating). Just maybe because it is summer, and it is a water activity.
I love to watch those more obscure events that don't usually make it to mainstream television. Whether it's the beach volleyball, open trap shooting or the fencing. I think the olympics should be an opportunity for us all to improve our sporting knowledge and be open minded.
My ultimate olympic event is track cycling. Particularly the Madison event.
I personally am taking my dad to a Soccer QF which could feature Team GB. Soccer/ Football isn't really my sport but it's a great opportunity to see an Olympic event and i'd be kicking myself if I didn't try to make the most of London2012
yeah, I do love watching many of the obscure sports! And cycling and soccer are some of my favorite sports!
Ever since I saw the 1996 Atlanta games I've liked gymnastics best. Second would be diving.
This is a difficult one for me to answer as i love alot of the sporting events in The Olympics. If i have to pick one i will go for table-tennis .The speed and accuracy by these atheletes is great to watch,particularly by the asian countries. I used to love playing myself on the school team so always have the interest Olympic time! Here's to a fantastic games in London!
Every new post here brings another fascinating sport to mind. I also enjoy watching table tennis because the matches can be enthralling and heart pounding! I am looking forward to the Olympics more and more!
I like so many of them! Probably my top three are swimming, diving and gymnastics!
Ever since Phelps' eight gold medals in Beijing, swimming has become my favorite.
I like watching gymnastics and swimming for sure! I used want to be a gymnast when I was younger.
My favorites are diving, and volleyball. I played volleyball in college and love the sport. The diving is something that impresses me because it is something I can not do. I love it when they make barely a ripple on their entry into the water. Wow!!

What is your favorite event of the Olympics?With the Olympics coming up once again this year, I'm curious to know. Personally, I revel in the chance to watch live badminton, seeing that it is not very popular in the states.
