Olympics

Post by trendon »

So, does anyone care?

I do, to an extent. I dislike that swimming is a featured event; so boring, even with the Phelps drama last time. I like the basketball, running, soccer, and water polo games but not much else.

handball is legit, ping pong is fun for a bit. i just like turning it on at 4am and seeing some random ass sport i never would watch, but for some reason it draws you in. im biased towards winter but summer has just sheer quantity of events its fun. usain is a freak too, always fun to watch him

looking forward to the water polo, soccer and of course the Track and Field.
I remember for some odd ass reason watching Speed walking for about an hour in utter shock that it was an olympic event knowing they were doing away with baseball and softball.? :lol:

like the team portion of gymnastics.

Soccer (bigtime), handball, and a little bit of basketball. Otherwise I couldn't care less.

Dont really care about any of it, though i'll probably watch if I'm home and not busy because there isn't exactly much else to watch during the summer.

I love the olympics! I still think what usage bolt did last Olympics was more impressive than phelps.

If the Olympics were every year no one would care but since it's every four years it gives me a reason to watch kayaking!

I tried to play it. It was the hardest thing I ever tried, no hyperbole. I am a fan.

No lie about how hard it is, I used to play, for the club team at Florida State and Tennessee, and played Masters level here in Vegas until my third kid was born. Actually played once in the National Masters Water Polo championships at goalie about 6 years ago.
