Obviously, the major sports don't really fit in this topic because we all like basketball, soccer, etc...

The point of this thread is to see which sports do you tune in to see in the Olympics that you do not normally get to watch on TV?

For me the obvious standouts, just for me, are water polo, archery, gymnastics, and diving.

I have also really enjoyed watching that whitewater kayaking event they have, it's been cool to watch.

Archery, fencing, judo, swimming and diving.

You guys can have the volleyball, check out who the Dutch sent to play women's field hockey. I wanna be the soap in that locker room.

Would any of the olympic womens sports be better if they were naked?

Absolutely. I can think of all kinds of reasons why naked field hockey would be better than the clothed way.

The Greeks used to compete naked, who's up for an omage to the ancients ladies?

<--Table Tennis..duh!! There is no greater sport in the world.

Diving, volleyball (both versions), gymnastics all get honorable mentions.

Track and field and gymnastics.

mostly this, I also like womens soccer and diving. not a big swimming fan, i've also been getting into ping pong and badminton over the last few as the matches can be very fast paced and intense.

100m dash is the number 1 event for me though, nothing is better that seeing the fastest in the world run it out.

Any sport where the ladies are dressed skimpily.

Doesn't matter the sport as they all have sculpted bodies.

My traditional fave is the gymnastics one where the ladies throw rings and shit in the air. Love to see their amazing flexibility in addition to being hot.

I'll watch a lot, but I wish they showed weightlifting in the US...instead I have to venture online for it.

It's supposed to be on today according to my Hopper listings.

I'm having fun watching the fencing, also looking towards track and judo.
