Which events have you watched? Which ones are you looking forward to? Besides Team USA/Canada/Whatever country you're in right now, which Teams are you rooting for?

I was just watching waterpolo or something. I'm not all that into sports. |D USA v. MNE, though I'm not quite sure what that abbreviation means... ^^;

Montenegro.

I was watching women's archery earlier. South Korea took Gold, China took Silver, and Japan took Bronze. DAMN they're good. Someday... if only I had a place to practice... and something to practice with...

Italy's archery yesterday was pretty entertaining for a sport I usually don't like. They needed a perfect ten on the last shot to win by one point, and they did. Also, the Judo was pretty cool, since now I actually know what I'm looking for.

I liked watching the South Korean Women's archery. Apparently they're pretty kickass, and they were surprisingly good. They have a perfect streak and they've set the World and Olympic Records in Beijing.

Did you see when they put up the South Korean flag for the North Korean football team and they temporarily refused to play?

[quackers are yummylicious]

I heard about that during the parade of nations. Didn't see it, though.

[Rose Hathaway]

No, I didn't. Holy shit that's wrong.

It was at St. James Park, I forget who they were playing. They did eventually come back on, but I could see the coaching staff going crazy at the people overseeing the match from the Olympics side.

I've never been too big on watching the Summer Olympics (primarily because, well, I'm Canadian... and we don't ever do overly well in them), but I have been sort of following along when I can. Since I was out of the way of any sort of contact with mainstream television providers, it was a bit difficult, but I do watch the Tennis highlights every now and again.

Good stuff, that.

The Olympics would be pretty much the only time I watch anything but ball sports. Not that we(Irish) do very well in anything except boxing, but... A guy can hope.

[quackers are yummylicious]

I rarely watch sports. :L Sometimes I listen to soccer on the radio, but that's about it. And that's not even that often.

[Book the Hero]

The only time I watch sports is when my family holds our annual Super Bowl party.

Gabby Douglas is from the same city Mayari, Evil, and I are from. And then she moved... to Des Moines... because Excalibur kind of sucks... We use Ocean Tumblers for my sister, so derp.

The Olympics were great!

I watched a good amount of events but I enjoyed the Womens Soccer Final and Mens Basketball final the best. USA woo!
