I love gymnastics the most. I love to watch how amazing and strong these 15year old kids are. I also like track. It makes me wish I could run.
I am excited for the opening ceremonies! They are always so neat to watch.

I love everything about the Olympics. I am a really competitive person-just ask my family. :) But I love to watch gymnastics, diving, swimming, track, etc.

I love gymnastics and swimming. I love the Olympics, finally something good to watch on T.V. for two weeks. We are having a Chinese dinner with fortune cookies. I customized the dinner into food that my family will eat (Top Ramen noodles, teriyaki chicken and rice). GO USA

I love gymnastics and swimming, but when it comes to the Olympics, I'll watch a little of everything. I always want to see how things are going for the US, so whenever I see any sport on (even if I don't particularly like it) I will stop and watch for a while.

Scrapy, that's such a good idea. Chinese sounds good today too...maybe I'll get some take out.

Swimming, volleyball (I dated an Olympic volleyball player before he was in the Olympics, but because of him I gained a love for men's volleyball :D ), gymnastics, some track.

I make sure to not miss swimming and volleyball.

I like the summer Olympics much better than winter. :cheer:

Is it an official event now? I thought it was an exhibition event? My daughter's bro-in-law was a world champion in the trampoline but decided not to continue training fot this Olympics. When he won the championship the family started preparing to go to China to watch him, but he decided he wanted to be done.

I like watching the gymnastics and swimming the best. I love the Olympics-makes me feel all patriotic and happy. Chinese food tonight sounds like a great idea! Go USA! That trampoline thing is pretty amazing.

I loved watching that trampoline. I don't remember watching it before either.
