Olympics

MeatballEsq · July 2012

So I'm not a HUGE Olympics fan, but I'll watch some of it. The last time the summer Olympics were going on I was actually vacationing in Europe, which made it really fun to watch and a great way to interact with other people (everyone there loved Michael Phelps).

So what are you guys looking forward to? Any certain sport? To be honest, the only thing I'll probably plan to watch is the whole Lochte v. Phelps drama...I mean events. And I'm not even sure when that starts, but I think tomorrow.

DH and I LOVE the Olympics! Our TV usually doesn't venture from the Olympics too often.

There are some things I do not care about, like basketball and volleyball, but I watch a lot of it. And since I am on bedrest, I have plenty of time to watch it!

I'm excited to see some good bands tonight. The one thing England can do better than China is kickass music. I was a swimmer so I always enjoy watching those events plus gymnastics.

I even managed to squeeze into my t-shirt from four years ago.

I LOVE the Olympics! I get very excited. I love watching all the diving and swimming events. I also enjoy the triathlon, rowing and pretty much anything!

I did a whole Olympic unit 2 years ago with my grade 2 class when they were in Vancouver. My whole class was decorated for celebrating Team Canada's wins and milestones.

So ya, I'm a huge enthusiast and super pumped that I get to sit at home all day and watch Olympics all day! And now when I'm up half the night I have something to watch on TV!

I love the olympics!! Looks like most of the coverage starts around 5am my time, and thats usually when I wake up and can`t get back to sleep! LOL! I was pregnant during the last summer games too, so I remeber laying around for two weeks watching!! And the 2010 winter games were great to watch just because they were held in Canada! I love the swimming and gymnastic events, and this year my oldest is really looking forward to watching the TaeKwonDo, because he started taking it this year himself, and I am excited to experience that with him!

Women's gymnastics is by far my favorite event!

I don't mind the Olympics. My favorites to watch are gymnastics, swimming and diving. It's nice to have something different on TV that both my husband and I like to watch!

I'm watching it now, I'll probably only watch the events happening when I have time to watch it. I doubt I'll go out of my way to see something.

I love the Olympics and pretty much every event. I am actually a little bummed I scheduled a prenatal massage tomorrow morning when the 400IM kicks off.

I dont have TV (as in cable, not I dont own a TV) so I wont be watching it But, if I were to watch it, I would definitely watch gymnastics. Everything else is just kind of meh.

Do you get NBC at least? Most of the "big" Olympic events are on NBC. You should be able to see the prime time stuff even without cable.

That being said, I LOVE the Olympics. Our TV with not be on anything else while I'm home. I like Gymnastic (both artistic and rhythmic), Swimming, Diving and Track & Field the most. But I find Archery and Beach Volleyball interesting as well.

Zmog... So excited!!! I will be screaming at the tv for most of the swimming and water polo events and biting my teeth thru gymnastics and rowing. DH thinks I'm nuts, but I love the games and what they represent.

Tell these people to put their phones away..... seriously. Isn't it about the experience rather than capturing it all on video/picture. Maybe I'm the only one like this, but geez!
