I only watch the Equestrian. What an interesting cross country with a oval hole cut in a hedge!

I've always enjoyed the gymnastics and diving but there certainly are plenty of other things that are fun. Much to my surprise, I got into the volleyball the other day - have never been a fan.
I thought this was a very interesting article.

What do you like?
Michael Phelps is a bit of a character, and it makes it fun to watch, in my opinion.

I, too thought there were too many wedgies with the girl gymnasts outfits. Announcer said each one cost $1200.00. Since Alaska has a lady on the women's rugby team, my daughter and I tuned in to watch. What a scrappy bunch! Don't know most of the rules, but it was very fast paced and fun to watch.
