 I like the swimming olympics..This year they have the olympics in England and I think it has been awsome.

My interest is waining - but I do like to keep up with what's going on even if I don't watch.  But then there are only repeats on the other channels !!!  The closing ceremony should be nice :thumbsup:

I mostly watched swimming and gymnastics and when those ended, I stopped watching even though I keep it on in the background.

I watched quite a bit of it.  My favorites to watch were gymnastics and a few long distance running ones.  The past few days I've been enjoying the rhythmic gymnastics, though.

I did keep up with the Olympics this year and have been watching the Olympics every time they come on since 1992. I watched most of the primetime coverage, but my main interest was in the swimming, gymnastics and track events. I loved seeing Michael Phelps break the record for the most medals won by an Olympian and it was also nice seeing Missy Franklin's first Olympics too. I was glad to see the women's gymnastic team win their first team gold in 16 years and it was also great so see Gabby Douglas win the all around gold, but I wish she could have won in her other event. My mom like's Usain Bolt and track events best so she got a great thrill watching him become the first man to defend his 100 m & 200 m titles as a gold medalist and the other track events. I just wish NBC had covered it better, but I do enjoy the Olympics. :)

I enjoy watching the Olympics.  I am glad it is only once every 4 years, because I would never sit down and watch a lot of these sports they have on there any other time.  GO TEAM USA!  I think NBC's coverage has been lousy.
