What is your favorite event to watch at the Olympics?
I love to watch platform diving... crazy people 33ft (3M) in the air doing the most graceful acrobatics before slamming into the water. Gymnastics would have to come right after that for me and then swimming?
What about you?

The Ice Skating is my favorite they are so graceful gliding over the ice and the things they do are just amazing.

[i]It is absolutely amazing how strong their ankles and legs need to be to do so gracefully what they do. The same kinda goes with gymnastics too although it is not nearly as graceful.
What about a summer sport... anything hit you there that you really like?[/i]
Thanks

I like the 4 by 4 relays, they are very exciting and the exchange of buttons makes it even more fantastic! The other one is discuss, it is just the funkiest show of strength. I also like 800 meters, it is one that I wont miss because i expect our Gazelle, Nzikuru to bring us the first Olympic Gold medal since 1972

I love the figure skating. I love the way they play the music, the beautiful costumes and when they do those twists, and leaps. It is oh so lovely and those tricks they do seem almost effortless. I am not that much into regular sports. In fact other than the skating, I wish that my husband would change the channel.

Heh a man's control his his remote control.
Anyway yeah can you imagine jumping in the air twisting three times in the air and landing on a small blade on slick ice... it's crazy. I was in Clearwater/Tampa a few weeks back and there is an ice skating rink inside the mall. There were like 6-year-olds doing singles and posing with their little outfits on..... the future US figure skaters hard at work already.
Thanks for the response

I know! That platform diving is awesome.
I hold my breath from through the whole thing.
I missed last Olympics cause my baby had just been
born.
Maybe will try to catch the gymnastics this time.
Rhythm gymnastics is especially pretty.
Maybe my daughter would love that!

I like watching just about any sport at the Olympics but my favorites would have to be the Ice Skating, Triathlon, Gymnastics, and cycling. I can't wait for the Olympics in Augusts this year!

I am just like you. I hope that NBC does a good job here in the US covering the Olympics because I want to see everything and I want to see it LIVE... not tape-delayed.
The sport I was most suprised about that I liked was in the winter games... the sport of curling... I really got into that. Something I will definately have to try.
Thanks
