HAPPY OLYMPIC GAMES, FORSILVRA!

Friday · 07-27-2012, 07:02 PM

what events are YOU looking forward to?

I am a HUGE fan of the rowing (simply because I am a rower myself...) plus watching them row on the Thames -- life dream, dying. Women's 8+'s start June 29th!

I DEMAND A FORSILVRA OLYMPICS! XD

I mainly only watch the football (SOCCER TO US AMERICAN PEOPLES) and sometimes gymnastics. I kind of don't care about anything else. >.> *so unsporting* But I prefer the winter Olympics more. Then I can watch snowboarding, figure skating, ice dancing, skiing and hockey. >.>

Fencing, Wrestling, Weight lifting, and Judo. I would be excited to see Baseball... But they dropped it, which is upsetting.

Well I live in Canada, and I much prefer the Winter Olympics to Summer Olympics, considering my city hosted the last Winter Olympics, and we kicked ass (at least in Gold Medals - and set a record too).

I will watch the swimming, not sure what else. I prefer hockey, skiing, snowboarding, figure skating (a friend of mine hopes to compete for Canada in Sochi 2014 for figure skating). I hope Canada does okay at Summer Olympics, but it is Winter that we excel at.

I agree Gaius, being from Canada myself and seemingly only one Province away.

The Summer Olympics rarely interest me save for a few events. One, swimming, only interests me because a certain American has caught my attention. I'll leave it to you all to decide who that person is, lol.

I hear women's soccer/football, depending on where you come from, will be interesting this year.

Other than that, without TV, I'm not going to be watching all that much.

I would totally watch if they made Lacrosse a summer Olympic sport, much better than field hockey!

Gilden · 07-28-2012, 02:31 AM

I should note, that the certain American swimmer I speak of - I admire only for his skill.

Otherwise it's Charlize Theron all the way for me.

Two other Canadians? Nice. I'm Canadian myself, and I can agree that I prefer the winter Olympics over the summer. If they included lacrosse (It was in it one year, a long time ago, if I recall correctly), that would be awesome.

I'm Olympic Fail.... I might watch gymnastics?

My wife's young cousin made it to the Olympic trials this year. Her event was Women's 400 Freestyle. No 14-year-old is going to qualify for that, but we are all so proud of her.
