Olympics
 

I was feeling the need to lighten this forum up a bit, so...

Does anyone else LOVE the summer Olympics? Opening ceremonies are 8/13! :D

I'll watch pretty much any of it, but I really enjoy track & field, swimming, diving & weightlifting. And I love love LOVE watching gymnastics, esp. women's.

How about you? :wavey:

I love the Olympics, too. I could not be happier than when i am watching women's gymnastics! To me it's literally like watching magic. As magic as it gets, it is :laugh: I like diving, too. I always think in my head that some of the other ones are boring, but i totally get in to watching them anyway. Suddenly, I'm crying after the hurdles! :lol: You know what else is super incredible? The long jump! That sh*t is CRAZY! I watched the trials. But, yeah, anyway, I Can't Wait!

I've never been much on Olympics or any sports for that matter...

So I'm pretty disinterested in all this Olympic stuff...I mean I think it's cool, I'm glad they're there...and I think it's awesome when people win...haha..I'm just not into watching them :)

?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :distress: :wavey: Do you like magic? Then watch gymnastics! :D

No...
 

I hate the summer Olympics, I have always been a Winter Olympic addict...Give me the cold & I'm a happy guy!!!

Really? Wanna switch houses with me for a month? :laugh: I....NEED some summer! And I can't go to Chico every weekend. It's been, 70-75 here every day, and for the weekend and next week the temps are gonna be 67,68, maybe 70...I'm goin' nuts, i tells ya, NUTS :lol: It actually sprinkled this morning...which is a little better then the fog till 2:00 scenario, but it still was like that until 2:00. :shocked: HELP! HELP!

I like both winter and summer, but I like the winter Olympics even better. :woohoo:

I lOVE them!!!!!

BTW - I was an actor in the opening and closing ceremonies during the 96 Atlanta Olympics. That was a GAS. AND - it looks like I am going to the closing ceremony in Athens this year!!!!! :cool:

I like the equesterian events but they never make it to primetime!

Ever since I saw Nadia Comaneci in '76 I have loved watching gymnastics during the summer Olympics. It's pretty much the only part of the Summer games I watch. Swimming and diving maybe. But the gymnastics is the best.

I'm not a huge Olympics fan, though I admire what they stand for & I remember liking Mary Lou back in '84. Her spirit was easy to root for.

i'm just glad that after 12 years it's finally held in a time zone that makes it watchable here. i'm not enough of a sports fan to be watching it in the dead of night.

We like to watch the Olympics. Softball is probably the biggest one to watch for our family (my sister plays). I like to watch the track & field and swimming too.

I'm really not into them. I prefer the winter olympics to the summer olympics. When I was younger, I was more interested in them than I am now. If I have time, I'll watch gymnastics but other than that, nope.

I went to the ones when they were here. I saw Princess Anne competing!!!!
