OlympicGames Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 What are your favored Summer Games sports? Mine: Swimming (if that wasn't obvious) Artistic Gymnastics Athletics (Mainly track, relays in particular, and including the Marathon) Diving (I do like the synchronized diving) Beach Volleyball The usual suspects. I tend to favor events that are races, and I enjoy the relays in both swimming and track, however, there are the exceptions like the Gymnastics and Diving. Beach Volleyball is a new one for me, as I never paid attention to it in past years, but it just seems like being at that venue can be a whole lot of fun. Beijing just looked like a great time. Sorry if this is a thread older members have done to death...I'm wondering how much variety there will be in different members answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicGames Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 It is probably because this topic has been done many times before!!! Thanks. Hmmm, I guess the winter games thread must be new territory then (or was last done a few years ago?) It's certainly gotten a better response.

Rob2012 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 The usual suspects; athletics, track cycling, rowing. But weirdly, I found myself getting really engrossed in the archery this time round as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equestian Pentathlon Baseball Softball Decathlon (ripetitive) Weightlifting You'll be pleased to hear that neither of those will be present in London in 2012. To be honest, I don't remember seeing anything of them in Beijing, but I've just checked and apparently S. Korea won gold in the baseball. Maybe it wasn't picked up by British TV.
