I've watched a few events (gymnastics, swimming, volleyball...), but I can only take so much. For me, it always gets old after the first few days. The novelty always wears off.

I'm a big fan of the camaraderie, unity, pomp and circumstance of it all. I seriously look forward to each olympics from the close of the last. If it's a venue, I'll watch it. I do, however, prefer the winter games to the summer.

I like watching men's swimming just for the eye candy. That's about it.
