Volleyball (both indoor & beach)
basketball
softball
gymnastics (women's -- for some reason men's gymnastics bores me)
swimming
Everything else I barely watch...maybe track & field a little._________________ Since this "FUCK this 'signature is too long' bullshit!!!" is no longer applicable, I'm gonna have to get creative - just not right now. Oh, GO LIBERTY!!!! |

I had to put swimming because I love it.
But Track&Field is right next to it IMO.

Track and field, baby. I'm from the Track Capital of the U.S., so for me, there's no other choice.
Though during the Olympics I become like a man and will watch anything. Even rhythmic gymnastics and boxing.

For summer olympics it's a tie between softball and basketball. I've Olympic baseball doesn't hold my attention because I don't know any of the players.
I also like water polo because it's awesome and gymnastics - both men's and women's.

I'm just like that too! Synchronized swimming, archery, you name it, if I'm awake and it's on, I'll watch it when it's the Olympics.
But for me, after basketball, it's gymnastics. I especially love the uneven parallel bars for the women, leftover from Olga Korbut, I guess.

Olympics women's gymnastics is just a whole new level of drama. I can't get enough of gymnastics ever four years.

Softball, hands down. I got turned on to Curling in the last games. Oddly enough, I kind of liked it.

When I realized that I was watching curling last winter Olympics, I knew that I was truly an addict . I just love all of it...and I'm with you on those "overblown tacky opening ceremonies" caune . I think my favorites after basketball are volleyball, track and field, gymnastics, and soccer, but I basically sit in front of the tv for two weeks and only leave to go work, get food, and sleep haha_________________ "Taurasi has boundless energy and is still -- even during the national anthem, she is bouncing side-to-side.

The women's 4x100 relay. It defines the summer Olympics for me. Comes kind of late in the games and has a sort of melancholy. After the bigger events. But it brings everyone together for a battle of the countries.
