Do people really watch olympics?

I would love to go see a summer Olympics if it was in our country. I don't like to fly that well and wouldn't have any interest in flying a long distance to watch sports. I did and do watch all the Olympics from beginning to end. I am a sports nut and a female. Interesting combination!

I am a person who is very interested in watching the Olympics. I have been interested in the Olympic Games since I was a child. If possible, I don't want to miss a game of it. I remember I did enjoy watching the Olympics in 2000 because at that time I didn't have a job. I could watch the Olympics all the time. I liked to watch different sports, even including the softball which is not popular in my country. Last year the Olympics was held in my country, so it's much more meaningful for me. I did feel a little lost when the Olympics was finished. I love China

I realy do not care for sports myself and I do not watch the olympics when it is held. howver I do pay attention to when a certain contries team scores well or takes home the gold medeals.

yes i think people do watch the olympics. there is a variety of sports you can choose from. so even if you do not like one of the matches you can watch oneo f the others. plus , it is an even of national interest for many countries and you cheer for your country so i think lots of people watch olympics as a result of that. it comes only once every four years so people are not bored of it when it hapens.

i enjoy watching the opening and closing, the sport itself... not so much!

I watch parts of the event. Uusually parts of the gymnastics and Track. I don't watch things like shooting or swimming. I particularly like the Basketball and Boxing portions, although since the U.S. has been rather mundane lately boxing-wise, I've stopped watching that as well.

Hi dilip, Dome people are selective they was only those events and it is not an easy task to watch the whole games for there are events going simultemously and the venues are at far distance. Practically speaking people enjoy mostly the opening and closing ceremony of the game.

Hi dilip_naik11, good day to you my co-mylotter. Yes,your right that in OLYMPICS many country join with this event and show their great ability in the sport of Olympics. As fas i know many people here in my country really a big fan of Olympics and he always watch some show regarding with the news in olympics. As i remember one day, i ask my friend why he always watch some news in olympics then he mention with me that when watching this kind of event he really feel relax and he want to see the reaction of people who really cheer and shout loud just to support their country. Well me in Olympics the only sporting event that i'm waiting and i really want to watch is the Baseketball because i really love this sport and just want to see the plays together with the moves of the players, especially lebron james of team USA. Well, this man is very popular now with this sport basketball and i think he can be compared to Michael Jordan. I really to see when Learon James when dunking because he is very creativd when dunking! Huh?! I know a great number of people who loves sport also love Lebron James. I think this coming next Olympic Season a great number of people will watch it. I hope someday i will be given a chance to watch a OLYMPICS game like basketball live because i know when watching live sport event it is more actiong and you really enjoy watching it. Well, by the i would like to share something here in my country. Also here in our country many people always watch sport events especially with boxing and they really support Mr.Manny Pacquiao when he going to fight in the ring, especialky now with his comhng fight with hatton. In summary all in all with my response, watching sport event really gives a good effect and it really relax many people. Well that's all my response with this forum topic discussion entitled "Do people really watch Olympics?". I hope i give a good response with your discussion. Happy posting and happy earning to us here in this site mylot. Thank you! ! !

Yes, you are right that you don't watch it as you lack interests on it. I have watched it since I had a memory, maybe since I was 5. I like it olympics very much, our family would sit together and watch the game all together, we are always excited to see how amazing the athletes can do great jobs. I enjoy it very much.

sometimes i watch olympics games like swimming,lung jump.

GREETINGS DILIP_NAIK11 , THOSE WHO HAVE PROPER EAGER TO SEE IT ,they witness the OLYMPIC EVENTS . & THOSE who have only craze about the CEREMONIAL INAUGRUATION , U SEE they WITNESS the FIREWORKS & SLOGAN DANCES..they NEGLECT THE CORE PART OF OLYMPICS THE SPORTS EVENTS. & THAT'S THE FACT. REGARDS

I only concern about the nomber of the gold medals.

i guess olympics is still a very grand event and many many many people all over the world still enjoy watching it, including me. although my country is not one of the hot fav like china or usa, and i probably manage to catch my country in action only in afew matches. but i definitely still enjoy watching other countries sportsman and sportswoman in action. even if i know nothing much about the sport itself, it is still a great enjoyment to watch it. and after watching it, sometimes i will be so interested in it that i may do some research on it. not forgetting the opening and closing ceremony. the 2008 beijing olympics had definitely done a great job! therefore,i feel that olympics is still as popular as ever.

I never watch the Olympics unless it is a sport where my country has a chance at winning a gold medal and it is already on television. I actually find the Olympics kind of annoying because when they are happening a lot of times there is not a lot of things to watch on t.v. and there is just so much talk about the Olympics. I really only check sometimes to see how my country is doing in the gold medal rankings.

I watched the opening ceremony, the closing ceremony and in between I saw bits of some sports. The only thing I watched regularly was the footall - until Italy got knocked out. The gymnastics was the only other sport that I purposely changed channels to watch.

Hi, dilip_naik11! I watch it when I see it. I like gymnastics as the olympic of my choice. I love to see the women and men do back flips and somersaults. It is fun to watch them do many flips fast. That is the only one that I take a great interest in.

Yes, millions of peoples watch the Olympics and I am one of them. When the olympics were held in 2008, I tried to watch as many events as I could. It is very interesting and there is nothing like it. We will have to wait another 3 years to see another Olympics now.

I only watch the sports that I like! LOL

From what I hear it is a big deal and quite a few people watch it but I have never got into it. I used to watch the gymnastics part of it but I haven't watch even that much in probably 10 yrs. I never paid attention to the scores even for my country, I only watched the gymnastics part of it because I think some of what they do is really amazing.I am not sure if I will ever really get that into it.......

I don't watch them, but my dad does. LOL
