The Olympics - Does anyone care?

A Poll could be useful here but does anyone really care about the Olympics? Does anyone watch it? It seems to be getting a vast amount of TV, Radio, and newspaper time and I was interested to hear peoples opinions about it. Synchronised swimming- How boring is that

I like watching sports that you would never see on TV normally (Okay, I could possibly do without synchronised swimming!)

And I like watching athletics and it is obviously the biggest athletics meet there is.

Couldn't care less!!

I'm with Yoda- its cool to see summat you don't usually get on grandstand. Rather that then the golf (or god forbid the darts)

Yeah some of its a bit dull but them the breaks innit?

Judo - cool

Gymnastics- gobdroppingly good

Boxing- dissapointing but eh

Horseriding - dull

Thats about all I've checked so far.

When they gonna have like a UFC thing on the olympics though- why allow one martial art at the expense of the rest?

It might be because UFC is a professional business where the competitors earn hard cash. I can't see them been willing to fight for free, can you?

I love the Olympics.

i agree, good to watch something different for a change. Its suprising how quickly you can get into synchro diving, just because we have a chance of winning something. and the guys got silver - good effort, (especially as one of them is from our very own steel city)- go on my son!

i'm now a fan of women's beach volleyball!

cor blimey what a fantastic sport that is

I don't see how they've got the cheek to class this as a "sport". It's more like soft porn, crossed with the sort of half-baked game families play at the seaside with an inflatable beach ball.

It should be relegated to a sort of It's A Knockout version of the Olympics, along with synchronised swimming/diving and handball (that strange game that's like a cross between hockey, football and basketball). I can hear Stuart Hall laughing now "and, ooh yes, look how far her shorts have ridden up her clacker! That's got to be an Olympic record! Ho ho ho!"

the original olympics were done with competitors naked and even the first modern olympics in 1896 was done in the nude! what would stuart hall make of that i wonder!!

I wouldn't mind, but I'm really p-ed off that Neighbours isn't being shown until they're over. :mad:

Indeed.... Me and Sid need our daily dose of Neighbours babes... Lyn, Susan, Steph... The list goes on, except Izzy Hoyland, she's nice and all that but she's too bitchy to be fanciable, especially after what she's done to the Doc and Mrs K.

I like watching the olympics, loads of diffrent sport to watch and all day, it`s good for me.
