Have you been keeping up on the Olympics? Why or why not? If so, what are your favorite events?

I like gymnastics, relay swimming, and diving. I think volleyball and weight-lifting is kind of boring to watch. GO PHELPS!!!

The games bring all the nations together. Only the Olympic spirit can do that.
Patriotism and excitement always makes me want to watch them

Sorry. I can't say I have been. I've been too busy wasting time on a relocation-oriented message board responding to an inquiry about my television-watching habits.

LOL!! My daughters were gymnasts and divers, and I was a swimmer back in the day. Yes, I'm watching as much as I can. (I can see the TV from the computer desk.)

Yep, I try to catch the basketball. Saw the swimming relay yesterday, that was really cool to watch. Also was up early Sunday and caught some handball, that was kinda neat to watch.

yes, all olympic games are on automatic record on my tv. The boring events I watch on fastforward like water polo, badminton, rowing, and the volleyball events, etc. The more exciting ones like basketball, tennis, swimming, gymnastics, and track and field I intend to sit down, be lazy, and watch! yes, yes, GO PHELPS
