Hello walijo. I watched a lot of the Olympic Games and I like to watch it, especially the one who got so many gold medals in swimming. He is from America, a great talent in swimming.

So far i have watched the swimming and the diving. It was great wacthing the British women winning gold and bronze in the swimming. The sport i am looking forward to the most has to be the athletics as i am a big fan of them and have followed them for many years. My daughter loves watching the judo as it is a sport she participates in herself and she has high hopes of competing in the olympics herself one day.

I try to watch it when I can, sometimes I don't think I'd be interested in anything but I'll find myself watching it and getting into it...lol. There are some events they don't show on tv here, like the judo thing, my husband really likes to watch stuff like that, but here they don't show it, I don't know why. Well I hope your daughter makes it to the olympics someday...Thanks

I havent got to watch much of it so far. I like the swimming and gymnastics. I also like to watch the basketball sometimes. I use to be fanatical about the olympics when I was a kid. Now if its on I will watch it but dont really go out of my way too much.
