2008 Summer Olympics

[Hornet33]

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.

Are you going to watch?

If so, what is your favorite sport to watch?
I love watching the dead lifts and boxing.

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??!
