Are you watching the Olympics?

I only started watching the Olympics since the 2008 Beijing one. This was around the time Team Great Britain started being funded (coincidentally) and I have watched my country's team just climb up the medal table ever since. I only watch some sports (equestrian events and volleyball games I find exceedingly dull). The cycling was pretty intense to watch, but I got fed up after 3 restarts on one of the final races.

Currently pleased to announce that GB are second and giving China a run for it's money yet again, second only to the always dominant USA.

I mostly just watched the swimming. Seen a few races but for the most part not really interested in much there. Seems like every time I tune in it's showing polo or volleyball and I'm not interested in either of those.

I usually like gymnastics and cycling. Cycling is mostly fast. I used to be a gymnast in training. Athletics is ok too, it's so easy to follow.

I saw some of women's wrestling and BMX today, but other than that I haven't been watching them at all.

I sometimes watch the Olympics. Normally Cycling (indoors) and badminton. I know Badminton is over but I like to record the replays.

I don't dedicatedly watch TV, I only have It on for background noise.

That said, I do have the Olympics on and when something of Interest comes on, I stop and have a look. I'm mostly Interested In track & field, particularly the 100, 200 and 400m events. Usain Bolt (as expected), won gold In both the 100 & 200 meters.

And who can forget when he smashed the 100m world record, clocking "9.58" seconds. I don't believe It'll be beaten for a very long time.
