    Have you ever been to London? No, but I want to. H has been.

    Have you ever been to an Olympic Games? No, but H went to Atlanta... should have had him answer this poll! (He is much more worldly than me, LOL) I would not pass up the chance to go though. I think most sports are more fun to watch in person.

  • Are you watching the Olympics? Nah, not really.

    Do you like the tradition? Do you think it is overrated? No, I just don't really care that much.

    Have you ever been to London? I am very lucky to have been to London three times.

    Have you ever been to an Olympic Games? Nope.

    What is your favorite sport to watch and why? I guess gymnastics and figure skating because they are really impressive to watch and you don't have to be an expert to see how one athlete is better than another.

    Do you like the summer or winter olympics better? Winter, I guess.

    What country are you cheering on besides USA? I always like to see tiny countries and underdogs do well. Especially the countries that only have 1-5 athletes on the whole team.

    Do you have a favorite Olympian from the 2012 Games? No. I have never really been on the Ph.elps/L.ochte train, although there is another swimmer on the team from my hometown and we went to high school together.

  • Are you watching the Olympics? Yes!

    Do you like the tradition? Do you think it is overrated? Love it. Been watching since I was little with my family.

    Have you ever been to London? Not yet. I will one day!

    Have you ever been to an Olympic Games? No. I was invited to play (musically, not a sport) at Vancouver, but had other commitments.

    What is your favorite sport to watch and why? Gymnastics. I competed as a kid and have always loved watching it!

    Do you like the summer or winter olympics better? Tough call. There are so many great sports to watch in both.

    What country are you cheering on besides USA? Since I'm Canadian, I'll say that other than Canada, I cheer for everyone. I love seeing even those bringing up the rear trying their hardest and having their moment to shine! They've worked hard to get there too, and even though they might not be a star, they're just as deserving as those who win gold.

    Do you have a favorite Olympian from the 2012 Games? Can't answer that yet, since it's not over ;)

    Are you watching the Olympics? Off and on.  Hard to compete with the drama of "Bachelor Pad" so it depends on the event. 

    Do you like the tradition? Do you think it is overrated?   LOVE the tradition.  Growing up I lived in Colorado Springs and worked in the gift shop at the Olympic Training Center.  I ate lunch every day with people like Bonnie Blair, Shannon Miller, etc.  I feel very personally connected to the Olympics based on my experiences there. 

    Have you ever been to London?  Yes, about 10 years ago.  Loved it.

    Have you ever been to an Olympic Games?  No.  But my Dad has been to 4 of them (Los Angeles, Seoul, Barcelona and Atlanta).  He used to be a coach for the Olympic Cycling team (how I got my gig at the gift shop) and I have one of the torches from the 1984 Olympics hanging on my wall (my Dad won it among all the coaches in a lottery). 

    What is your favorite sport to watch and why?  In the summer, Gymnastics.  I'm just amazed by their abilities.  

    Do you like the summer or winter olympics better?  Summer.

    What country are you cheering on besides USA?  I loved the Independent Olympic Athletes entrance in the parade of nations--hard not to route for them!

    Do you have a favorite Olympian from the 2012 Games?  Gabby Douglas.  She trains in West Des Moines, Iowa which is where I live now.  And LoLo Jones--also from Des Moines.  Have to cheer for the local people!

  • Are you watching the Olympics?  You bet!

    Do you like the tradition? Do you think it is overrated?  I like the Olympics a lot; I just wish I could avoid the spoilers on the internet and news.

    Have you ever been to London?  No, but someday.

    Have you ever been to an Olympic Games?  Yes, I went to some in 1996 in Atlanta.

    What is your favorite sport to watch and why?  I love the diving best.  I think it's because it's something I would never have the courage to do.

    Do you like the summer or winter olympics better?  I like more of the summer sports.

    What country are you cheering on besides USA? No one, really, but I'll cheer for anyone to do well.

    Do you have a favorite Olympian from the 2012 Games?  Nope.
