Default Your Favorite Olympic Sport?

I Love the diving the best!! I could watch that for six hours straight. Too bad the athletes would be exhausted.

What do you like?

I loved the bike marathon with the surprise endings to both. The swimming and gymnastics are always good.

Swimming, men & women, gymnastics, women & beach volleyball, womens. All of our athletes are doing extremely well and representing our country proudly.

I am enjoying Michael Phelps in anything he does. Last night I was watching some of the women's gymnastics and thought their outfits were made by some Hollywood designer, they are a little too skimpy at the bottom.

I have watched some of the events-- not much of any sport fan here--- my observations: beach volleyball- women in very scanty bikinis/men tank top and regular shorts....hmmm. Men's diving...wow those speedos are barely there! Some of the outfits are truly "designer". One "sport" I had never before seen/watched...Rapids racing? Want to know how one practices for that ridiculous things, also water polo seems odd. What I would like to watch and have yet to find on tv is the horsey things....... And the commentators/announcers sometimes just drone on and on...just be quiet and let us watch! Oh, cannot wait for the 'new" season of regular tv--I hope!

I have never qjuite understood the female gymnastics outfits - long sleeved and short bottomed.

The men's outfits are tank tops and long pants.
