Which Olympic event do you most enjoy watching?

[Secretlee]

For those of you out there that watch the Olympics what events do you most enjoy watching? Are there any you specifically don't enjoy watching?

Personally I enjoy watching pretty much every event, but there are a couple I don't like. Cycling comes to mind because it's so darn long and boring to me. Equestrian also ranks up with events I don't like, something about it I just don't like.

My favorites would probably be pretty much anything swimming, basketball, and volleyball (especially women's beach volleyball ).

No contest. Women's Beach Volleyball.

Shot put, discus, gymnastics floor routine, uneven bars, and diving.

basketball, running, swimming, hammer throw and discus, and Simone Biles really got me into gymnastics, specifically the vault. Besides the fact that she murders every event she touches, watching her execute an almost perfect vault is like seeing precious artwork for the first time.

I found myself watching everything from basketball, swimming, track and field, soccer. But one I've found myself watching that I hadn't seen before is women's field hockey. Some of those gals have bruises on their bodies that would lay me out, brutal.

Well I thought the BMX Racing was totally bonkers. There were so many crashes.

I enjoyed the 10,000 metres women's race with the world record - that was incredible.

Diving was great and had good informative commentary, which was lacking from some of the sports and really shouldn't be when to many viewers the scoring systems, terminology etc are unfamiliar.

Very much enjoyed floor gymnastics because I like to see them choreograph the routines to the music.
Also enjoyed the tennis and badminton - although as these are my regular sports I tried not to focus on them too much while there were so many other sports to watch that aren't often on televison.

The Basketball was enjoyable too and usually guarantees a fast-paced, nail-biting finish

Volleyball, archers, wrestling, boxing (without helmets this time so it looked more professional).
Synchronized swimming to enjoy nice views of beautiful legs and feet

Watching Bolt run of course

I actually enjoy the Winter Olympics a bit more, simply for the skiing and snowboarding.

In the Summer games I prefer table tennis, basketball and tennis.

Curling onlyft because I have no idea how it works and I'm fascinated by it.
