I quite like the gymnastics as it's not something I'd watch any other time and I find it interesting, especially after a little bit when I get used to what to look for and things. The diving too. If I went to watch something it would probably be something like swimming or athletics though, the atmosphere would just be amazing.
I find things such as gymnastics and weightlifting impressive to watch, those that involve racing exciting to watch, and boxing and fencing just quite fun in general.
For those of you who have been watching the Olympics so far, or have watched in previous years, what event do you enjoy watching the most?
And if you could go and see an event live, would it be the same one? Why/why not?
I enjoy most of the events in particular Athletics (my fave because I am also a runner (400m and 800m)) Usain Bolt... the fastest man in the world. He's the reason why I mostly watch the Olympics. 6 x world champion (I think) He set a record of 9.58 secs for 100m back in 2009 in Berlin! USA's Justin Gatlin want to beat him so bad but it just seems impossible unless bolt retires. He may be able to surpass Bolt's record time without Bolt on the track. But with Bolt on the track... I guess he will never be able to defeat Bolt racing with him. Bolt is going for the treble-treble today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Swimming - Phelps is Phenomenal to watch (26 medals and 22 of them gold) This is his 5th Olympics and he will retire soon (next yr ) He got 4 medals at Rio so far 3 gold and 1 silver. He's won the 200m individual medley event for 4 in a row now. He first won it in Athens 2004.
I also watch gymnastics - my all time fave gymnast = Larisa Latynina (she's 81 now) Cycling, Boxing, Football. Did you guys see Germany score 10 - 0 to Fiji. That was such an easy match. I don't even know how Fiji even qualified
If I could go and see a live event it would be Athletics
