I would say beach volleyball and hockey (especially the women :)), athletics (track) is also a fave, and the track cycling is good... I love the sprint, good to watch the cyclists try to outfox each other and then sprint to the line at the last minute.

The rhythmic gymnastics is definitely a bore!

Basketball, swimming, track and field, handball. I'll watch basically anything, but those 4 are my fav's. Love handball.

Oh and ping pong goes alright.

Ok.. can't stand marathon anything, like the cycling, running, blah blah blah
Find the water polo difficult to watch because I always find I am gasping for air.

But I do love the swimming, shooting, gymnastics, like Bruce I am an expert Diving coach :D and pretty much anything Olympic!!


But bring on the EQUESTRIAN!!!!

I like the 3-day eventing part of equestrian, as there is always the off chance of major injury slash death to keep in interesting. And even when they junp over those poles; that can be ok.

But dressage is plainly the most mind-numbingly boring olympic sport that exists.

Do they still have bmx bike riding or whatever other ghey thing it is?
They'll have skatie's in there next.

I quite enjoy the track cycling, always fast paced and plenty of action - even the tactical races are still entertaining.

Womens hockey is decent to watch :P

For the track and field I like the Mens 100m and 200m sprints, also any sprint relay.

Mens gymnastics is great but only thanks to Roy and HG's commentary in 2000 :D
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!

:(

Sad to see you feel that the death of someone or something makes an already interesting sport the only thing interesting to you.

However, I guess the thing is if your a horse person, no matter what type of riding style, you just appreciate the synchronicity between horse and rider, to see the non verbal communication, the absolute order and neatness of the entire thing...

I just love it!!!!
