Will you actually watch the Olympics and which events?

Yes, im definately going to watch the olympics.

Definately will watch them, i think i have caught the majority of the televised events for the last 20 years.

84 in LA was the first one i truely followed.

Was supposed to watch them live, but have to go to Mexico instead :(

I'll jump on teh bandwagon if that swimmer can go for 7 golds or however many it is he's going for.

Basketball is getting lamer each Olympics. :(

Hell yeah... love watching the girls fall off the balance beam.

hell yeah
it's the biggest event in the world, why not watch it?

the events, well I prefer athletics, basketball

but almost every event should be interesting on olympic level..
and of course, every event with Israeli participants :thumbsup

Who's favored to win the overall competition? US?

mostly athletics and weightlifting

I'll be watching as much as possible, any and every event I can get on the TV here.


Soul_Rebel.... if you're in a position to catch anything to do with the games, anything at all, feel free to write about it here. Go visit the Olympic village and get some insider dirt man, that would be cool.

no

I don't have much free time, but I'll try to watch some of the events

no its boring :2 cents:

yeah,im gonna report back any news they get in my hand. I don't think is allowed to visit the olympic village now without an invitation, but some dirt.... :)

I have a family friend that she's microbiologists and part of the team responsible for the anti doping tests. She said it was bitch to deal with sport organizations because they didnt want their athletes to pass the new anti-doping tests. In these tests the athletes are obligated to give a blood sample, unlike in the past where only urine samples were required. They went to courts, but I didn't learn what was the final outcome of this.

the most of them.
of course the 100m men final is the best!

yes

almost all of them

yeah we all watch Thorpie in Oz :1orglaugh

Not me. Unless they air the events live in realtime in the wee hours of the night here in the states.

Otherwise the results of the events will be all over the web prior to prime time broadcasts.

The networks typically aren't very smart when it comes to Olympic coverage.

Someone I've known a long time is in it, so for sure!

I probably won't.. sports generally bore me.

I'm anxious to watch some new sport(s) that isn't boring like golf, tennis and baseball

I believe Greece is 7 hours ahead of EST so night events will be live but the day events will be on tape delay which sucks.

hell NO i wont watch that shit!1

BOOOOOOORRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNG! :glugglug

The Olympics is not boring, you are probably not much of an athlete or much into sports. Not trying to diss you in anyway.:2 cents:

I'm not penciling it in.

Have no interest in Olympics anymore. Too much drug use, too many egos....and lots of pay offs at the top echelon in order to host the games. But thats the world as it is today. Be interesting if Al Queda is able to strike with all that security.:(

Nah. I more than likely won't watch the Olympics. I hardly watch any tv as it is. I remember being younger and off school in the summer, and watching gymnastics and diving Olympic events a lot.

I will watch some Gymnastics, Diving, 100M etc. :thumbsup

Im going to watch almost all events that involves Swedes :thumbsup
especially ladies soccer and track/field

Absolutely. I try not to get stuck too the tv everytime the olympics are on but it never works. It doesn't help that Australia win so many gold medals. We will once again show we are the best sporting nation in the world per capita :)

I'll probably just watch the espn highlights because I have way too much work to get done...

yup, I love sporting events like this. Pure human drama.

I just realized, that the Olympic Soccer tournament is going to start in 80 Minutes...

So I put 10 bucks on the German Women's Soccer-Team vs. China... :thumbsup

Let the games begin! :glugglug

Ooh, there could be some juicy dirt coming from her then. Super.

The population of Athens will probably grow by half during the games, and with that many new people around there is a good chance to see some wierd shit going on.

I'll only watch the events on which I bet. :Graucho

not all the events, some of them. all of them do not interest me

I will watch some of the basketball but that is it.

I haven't seen any picks, but I believe so yeh

If a Greek athlete wins a gold medal the whole country is going to go mental with celebration. Mental I tell you.

Although I like to see Canadian athletes win or do well, I do cheer on some from other countries. Aussie swimmers are always strong contenders, the long distance runners from N. Africa are the usual favorites in those events, and I always like to see athletes from countries other than world powers unexpectedly win something. They generally don't have the funding for mega-training like other athletes so their wins seem to mean just a bit more.

i think i'll watch a few minutes everyday :)

Hell yeah I'm watching.

400m, 800m and 1500m especially. Men and women.

nah.. i m too busy with work !! will just watch da highlights or news.!!
