Rowing, but that's because I compete in that sport.
So, no, I won't be watching, because NBC will be covering the swimming prelims, every second of gymnastics, whatever controversy arises, and 'what life is like in the athlete village', while other sports are having their finals.
In Seoul, they covered a Korean boxer sitting in the ring moping about a (what he considered) a bad referee call while the mens single scull finals was being raced.
NBC does a piss poor job on Olympic coverage.

Track & Field.
-
Sailing but the coverage sux :cry
-
Basketball
and whatever sports that looks good on my HDTV :aok
My HDTV is ISF-Calibrated too

I'm not surprised, I recall you coming up here not too long ago for competition. :) When is you're next trip up here? We should tip-n-get a bite. :aok

Track & Field (new-found interest since my stepson has excelled at it...hopefully we'll see him in the 2012 Olympics :aok)

Olaf Tufte has some serious Kiwi competition... depending on how his training has been this last year, it may be tough to defend. I think he was third or fourth in Munich 2007 world championships.

Unsure about his form too, but usually he focuses on topping it for olympic games. A gold is not 100% sure this time though.

Ditto. This year, however, I'll be rooting for the slime.
-
I enjoy the diving, and swimming events
BUT.......
This year is going to the the FIRST time that BMX is going to be held as an Olympic sport. Yeah I'll be watching that one. I've seen pics of the track they built over there and it is a monster. Suitable for the X Games. Going to be lots of speed, big air, pain, and blood. Can't wait.

Rip, don't have TV. But in the past, I've subscribed for cable just for the Olympics. Might do it again.
The unpopular sports I disliked as a kid, I now like to watch: (apologies in advance if I list something that IS NOT an olympic sport. Fencing, archery, shooting, badminton (why not! :), the olympic version of . . . what's it called, they use a small ball and try to toss it in a net or something like that, was weird, . . . would love to watch some good track and field. Again, the less popular interest me. As well as those gut wrenching long sprints, 440's and others.
And as others have said, javelin, sailing, rowing. All that sort of thing.
Ohh, found a list:
Aquatics Canoeing Hockey Table Tennis
Archery Cycling Judo Taekwondo
Athletics Equestrian Modern Pentathlon Tennis
Badminton Fencing Rowing Triathlon
Baseball Football Sailing Volleyball
Basketball Gymnastics Shooting Weightlifting
Boxing Handball Softball Wrestling
Judo, that would be cool. Learn something new. "Hockey" must be field hockey. Why not??!
