Are You Planning to Watch the Olympics?

(1/47) > >>

David In Indy:
I will be watching the Olympics, so I answered Yes - Some of it. I love the Olympics. It's a time when the world can come together to celebrate and unite. I know some people plan on boycotting the Olympics due to their opposition to China and human rights, but we must remember these young people have trained for years and years for this moment. What is happening in China is not their fault. And even though I cheer for the athletes from my country, I always feel happy for the individual who wins the event, as their country's flag is hoisted high above their head and his or her country's national anthem is played. :)

Brown Eyes:

I'll probably inevitably end up watching a little bit of the Olympics (which is what I voted for).  I'm not a sports fan at all - except for bull riding!!  So, the Olympics aren't really my favorite thing to watch.  Although, there are some summer events that I do find fun... diving in particular.

Jeff Wrangler:
Well, I checked "Other" because it very much depends on whether a sport I enjoy watching (e.g., Men's Diving, Men's Gymnastics) is broadcast at a time I can watch.  :-\

Katie77:
Yes, I will watch some of it, particularly the sports where Australia has a good representation.

I will be watching the gymnastics with my daughter.I will also be watching the tennis with younger son, and if there is any wrestling I will watch that with older son.
I cannot condone what is going on in China, but I separate that from the athletes.I am so involved in sports with the kids.I know even at their level how much work goes into every event. My tennis mad son was meant to be playing an exhibition match today and it was called off, due to a massive thunderstorm.He was so upset as was his opponent.
So I will cheer for the athletes and try and put the politics aside.My biggest dilemma is who to cheer for,Brits or Americans !!!!!
