As someone who doesn't watch much TV, things are about to change drastically for me in about a week (as they do every 4 years). Starting with the Open Ceremonies on Aug. 8th through the Closing Ceremonies on Aug. 24th I will be watching as much of the 2008 Olympics as I possibly can.

What Olympic sport(s) are you most looking forward to watching?

For me it's gymnastics, swimming, diving, tennis, track & field, and volleyball.

Even though I work in the industry, I eagerly await watching the exact sports you mention. I love seeing the volleyball of course because I compete as well.
The track and field always has drama and I love the grace and beauty of gymnastics.

Same as you, but subtract tennis and add kayaking

Well, I can tell you which sport I'm NOT going to watch.

If all the swimmers are going to wear those shark suits, forget it! I really don't care who swims the fastest, I just want to see hot swimmers in their tiny little speedos!

So, I'll be watching men's diving and gymnastics. I'll watch tennis too since I'm a tennis buff.

I love the Olympics, I usually watch as much as I can. All except basketball. No offense to anyone, the USA should really dominate that and we don't.

Kayaking/Crew events.

Swimming, soccer, and track.

Gymnastics and diving can be fun to watch, but the scoring at times ruins it for me. I like sportst that are as close to totally objective as can be.

That's my order there as well. I can't wait to see the running events since Jorge Torres was someone that I recall racing against one time when I was in high school. Just me being corny I guess.

LOL almost everybody in this thread listed either gymnastics or swimming, or both.

I'm definitely watching both of the above, as well as diving, tennis, weightlifting and tracks.

For me it's gotta be Swimming and Diving (cause i coach it) and both indoor and outdoor volleyball since I played in college and am obsessed with the sport. This is one of the few times those two sports get to finally be important. It's been helpful having someone like Phelps to promote swimming, but I still wish they showed more competitions.

I'd recommend Water Polo if you can catch it. I went to a match here in Atlanta in '96. Woof! I also remember being in Macy's that week seeing the Italian gymnastic team and the Irish wrestling team. It was an eye candy week!

Okay,

First off I am skipping college on Friday as I keep having recurring nightmare that I miss the Opening ceremonie which is pretty much the highlight for me. In terms if sports I am really looking fowards to watching:

Beach Volleyball
Volleyball
Gymnastics
Handball
Maybe Swimming
Synchtronised swiming ( no men's team yet?)
Diving
Archery


Ps: MMM. USA Looses its dominance in the meddle tally. ITS predicted... China begins to cement its path to be the ULTIMATE Superpower for the 200 years.

PS2: This the time when soccer becomes the most insinifiucant sport on the calender. I love it.

Swimming, Diving, and Gymnastics like most people.

But especially: Men's 10m Platform Final


I find it slightly ironic that nobody has mentioned the weightlifting competition on a forum where most people lift~ I suppose it isn't especially entertaining to see, not like gymnastics and diving.

any sport where the athletes are devoted and barely dressed.. which at the olympics.. is most..

but my faves are

anything involving people in water

anything involving people flipping through the air

anything that can be played in slow-motion so that you can see a man's pecker going back and forth, from side to side, as the man goes faster than most every other human on the planet

god bless sports and spandex


btw.. me
perv first, sports fan second... lol

I missed all the swimming. Sorry, Phelps. Forgive me!

But now since I have more time I was enjoying the men's diving. That truly is amazing how they fearlessly perform all those acrobatics right before plunging into water.

How could they relegate the gold medal water polo match between Hungary and the USA to a early afternoon broadcast on a secondary cable network?!?! That totally sucked.... while they showed prelims for boring sports in primetime .
