Are you going to watch the Olympics?

[Jalapeñomel]

What are your favorites?

I like women's gymnastics, swimming and diving.

[blueballoon]

Diving is the only thing I watch in the summer olympics.

I love the winter olympics though, especially the hockey.

[RobotLegs]

I'll probably watch the same things as you. I hate the time difference, though!

[pantsparty]

Parts of it, like swimming and gymnastics. I much prefer the winter Olympics.

[Kit]

I'll probably watch the gymnastics part.

[falada45]

I'll watch the equestrian events like show jumping and three-day-eventing.

I also like gymnastics, swimming, and diving. And I'll keep an eye on some of the track-and-field stuff.

[melodramatic26]

I love, LOVE the summer olympics. I'll watch just about anything they'll show. I totally wished I had planed it better to be home on maternity leave when it's on.

Between the Olympics and Big Brother, my summer just got infinitly better

These to things are going to make me a neglectful mother in a few weeks. lol

[bluesmoothie]

We'll watch gymnastics and diving and swimming with my daughter.

[papie]

Yep, I always do. I just watch whatever is on when I sit in front of the tv, I rarely plan what I will watch.

[Vally]

yah probably. I'll watch whatever is on the regular nbc affiliate.

the woman's gymnastics team will always be the same people in my mind though so it always is weird to see these brand new faces. where's kerri strug!

[tigress]

YES I'm a big Olympics person.

My H ran track in college so we watch track for sure.
I dove in college so I watch diving. And swimming since all my friends were swimmers I gained an appreciation for it.
I was a HUGE gymnastics fan when I was little. Not AS crazy now, but still definitely watch whenever it is on.

I just like the thrill of competition. I can get into the Olympic spirit for practically any sport, summer or winter Olympics, so I'm a fan.

[lightbulbsun]

I love the olympics. My favorites are swimming, women's gymnastics, running (shorter distances), but I'll generally have the TV tuned to the Olympics the whole 3 weeks.

[youbetcha]

I LOATHE the Olympics. I know, I'm un-American or something. But it's just so all-consuming! Every commercial, news report and hour of programming is about the Olympics in some way, shape or form. I just get burnt out by like the second day.

[dcannie]

just swimming. i grew up swimming year round and watching makes me so nostalgic.

Me too! I sooooo wish I had planned to have this kid in may so I could watch the Olympics without work .

[daisyheadmaizie]

I will definitely watch gymnastics, swimming, and diving. And, probably other random events I catch on TV. I really enjoy the Olympics, and it will give me something to watch in the evenings while I knit.

[tulip]

Yes!! I will watch all the Equestrian events that I can find or DVR. I wanted to ride in the Olympics when I was a kid!!

[LLL]

yes. I don't really have any favorites but I do love when the track and field events are on

[nique]

Yes and I am so excited! We will watch gymnastics, I did gymnastics from when I was 2 till I was a Junior in College, I can't wait for the it to start. ;D

[Deleted]

I LOVE THE OLYMPICS.

i'll watch pretty much anything but boxing. my favorites are anything swimming and sprint running.

[eightangryreindeer]

Yes.
I like what you like, and the equestrian, track and field, much of it actually.

[eightangryreindeer]

I also like the men's gymnastics, because, damn.

yeah, that iron cross thing? holy shit.

[ering1115]

I LOVE the Olympics. LOVE.

We usually watch anything that comes on TV and don't discriminate. DH and I were both rowers in college and competed internationally so we will be glued to the rowing. The Women's 8+ will likely be a showdown between the USA and our neighbors to the north. Awesome!

DS may or may not have some USA onesies and other paraphanalia from the training centers..... bought well before he was even thought of.

[ralphlauren]

I most likely will not watch it :-|

[Vally]

I waaaant to like men's gymnastics but it just isn't as magical as the women's. like, they flip and do cartwheels on a 4" beam !!! it really is like sorcery or something, I do not get how they do that and not faceplant 80% of the time.

[PinkSquirrel]

I love the Olympics and will pretty much watch them every second I'm near a TV while they're on. Swimming is my favorite, but I really love all of it.

[Jalapeñomel]

I am looking forward to hearing the Spanish announcers. They get so freaking excited!

[loveday]

I'll be watching the equestrian events, especially dressage. Also gymnastics, diving and swimming.
