I'll try to catch what I can online, but no guarantees. I AM interested in following ryan lochte since he hails not too far from my area, and he's such a bro/fratty personality, it's entertaining

No, I used to watch the olympics years ago but now there's too many events, too many countries, too many different sports, and I don't like how the olympic committee is a greedy, political organization. But I still hope the USA kicks everyone's booty.. :rolleyes:

I'll watch women's soccer for sure. Outside of that, I'll probably try to catch some women's beach volleyball, whatever events Phelps is swimming in, and some track races. That's pretty much the extent of my interest.

I used to watch the basketball team, but watching them win by 40 every game isn't that fun lol.

Since I'm interested in horses I'll keep an eye on that bit. Of what NZ ends up winning will interest me :)

I only have Netflix, so no Olympics for me. :( I'm not as interested in the summer games as the winter ones, so it's okay.

Bowling should be a summer Olympic sport. It's sad how it's not. Used to be an avid bowler and feel strongly about it. But having said that I watched the women's soccer team today and men's basketball. So I guess that would be a yes.

Yes & No. I happened to watch that world record swimming race while at one of my jobs, and that lady knocked it out of the park!! Awesome to see... Good job, Hungary!

Same. I'd watch them if I wanted to pay for normal television, but I won't.

At the end of the day, I prefer the Winter Olympics. Perhaps I'll throw down for some temporary online subscription then.

I will probably watch swimming and women's soccer.

I bought an antenna at Wal-Mart and plugged it in, free major network channels.

I didn't know it was Olympics time until Google had their little fruit sports video things. But then again the last time I sat down to watch an actual program on TV (and not an old something from online) was ummm, yeah I couldn't even give you a decent time frame, probably about the time that the season finales were on.

Ive actually watched the olympics a few times in the past. I dont really like sports at all (unless its like dramatized and theatrical I guess) but Ive actually had fun watching them in the past.

Its kinda fun seeing people of different nations compete with each other, and also I really enjoyed hearing the national anthems of other nations as well as ...uhh.... watching people be forced to hear the anthem of my own nation when my home nation won an event : p
