Olympic sports you love to watch

Post by RustyCage »

I've never been a fan of swimming events, much prefer week two of the Olympics.

Been loving the basketball, hockey, rowing, track cycling, archery and handball. Looking forward to the field events.

Having Foxtel, it's good to be able to watch sports and events that Australia aren't competing in

It's always good to watch bits and pieces of all these sports every four years.

Not necessarily watch, but I am loving listening to the Female commentator for the badminton on Foxtel...

She sounds gorgeous, can't find out who it is though..

I actually love to see things I only watch once every 4 years. Not a great fan of subjective sports like diving, synchronised swimming, gymnastics etc but I do love watching the volleyball and handball. Pretty much anything I'll happily watch. Water polo frustrates me with all those whistles and exclusions when it seems they're all trying to drown each other.
