Clicky Poll: Olympics

[Sammich_Cat]

Which events are your favorites to watch?

If you could be a star athlete, which event would you want to be participating in?

[annarose]

Gymnastics and swimming is what we watch. And I would love to be a gymnast

[teraiin]

I don't really have a favorite because there are events I love at both. I love gymnastics and swimming.... But I also love figure skating.

[wanderingheart]

Gymnastics and swimming are my favorites. I am in love/borderline obsessed with Phelps. I love him so hard.

[babycaps]

I gymnastics, swimming and ice skating the best. So I like both winter and summer olympic games for those three. I also like watching ski jump!
wanderingheart, I do not share your enthusiasm for Phelps. He annoys me. Don't get me wrong, he is an INCREDIBLE swimmer, but I dislike his personality from the LITTLE I know of it.

If I were a star athlete, I would be a swimmer, doing the 100 Butterfly, which was my main event when I was a swimmer in high school! I also did the 50 butterfly for the medley relay and 100 free for 400 free relay.

Summer. I do shooting sports, so most of those are in the summer games. I would do 3-pos rifle if I could. I was just getting into competition (large bore, not small like the olympics) when I got pregnant with DS1 so that got tabled for now.

He had a rough couple years, but he's redeemed himself to me this Olympics is SO different from how he was in London. He's matured a lot, I think.

I like watching cycling, track & field, swimming, gymnastics. I'll watch others, but those are my faves.

babycaps I was a swim instructor for some time! Butterfly is not easy - go you! I'm a back and breast kind of gal but I haven't swam for real in years.

I love gymnastics and swimming in Summer Olympics.
I love figure skating, speed skating, and downhill ski events in Winter Olympics.
I like them both.

[ellipses]

I love watching gymnastics and diving. We've been watching a lot of swimming because that's what they are broadcasting. I wish they would show more variety, especially Track & Field events. I haven't seen a single race, out of water.

Eta: Of course, I'm DVRing it and I'm behind, so I turn on last nights coverage and they are talking about the 100m this weekend.

[fishbulb]

I prefer the summer sports but I'll watch the winter ones too. I've tried a lot of the summer sports and I am bad at them all.,

[jbeans27]

I love watching summer or winter!
Summer I love the swimming and gymnastics but I'll watch anything.
I was a competitive figure skater until I was 16 and had a serious injury so that is definitely my favorite to watch although the scoring system is super weird to me now. I also love watching any of the skiing events!

[helloerrbody]

GYMNASTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marshmallow]

wanderingheart, I love me some Michael Phelps too! My husband has asked me twice this past week if he should be worried

I would love to be an Olympian. I've been joking that I'm trying to figure out what sport I can take up with my age and lack of physical fitness...I'm thinking maybe archery.

[mrssqueegy]

Winter is my favourite because Canada wins way more medals. There are very few events I won't watch in either summer or winter Olympics. I love love love the Olympics.

[gahorseygal]

Love to watch Gymnastics and Eventing. My dream is still to compete in Eventing. Average age for an Eventer is around 38. I still have plenty of time There was a guy at the last Olympics competing for Japan in Dressage at age 71. Awesome.

My favorite is gymnastics!!!
