Anyone here have Olympic fever?

[Boomerproud]

If so, what are your favorite events to watch? I like swimming, diving and gymnastics.

[Tobin S.]

1. All of those athletes are truly amazing.

What they can do with their bodies defies belief.

[Archae]

5. When the pole-vaulter breaks the world record...

WITHOUT his pole, I may think about doping...

[TexasBushwhacker]

2. Not that into it

Which is good since I broke my TV.

[femmocrat]

3. I love the Olympics.

Gymnastics is my favorite.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

4. So overblown. I do like the tradional events-- track and field, gymnastics, and such.

But they pad out the whole thing with silly crap like dressage, synchronized swimming, and that thing where they prance around waving the ribbons plus the events that are already thriving professionally like basketball.

[Archae]

6. When are the curling events?

Oops, wrong Olympics...

[IcyPeas]

7. Kitten Olympics are on the Hallmark Channel tonight

8. Is "Olympic fever" anything like "Dengue fever"?

Sorry, Boomer...I have this weird feeling many people are going to watch the Rio Olympics to see how badly they fail.

[AngryAmish]

9. If you got that dust some gold Bond up there.

And Destin before you work out again. Seriously. It really works.

[JohnnyLib2]

10. Been to 4

Really enjoyed the international flavor that TV can't quite portray.

[shenmue]

11. Soccer and judo

[Aristus]

12. Not since 1988.

Those were my favorite Olympic Games. It's pretty much been downhill since then...

[KMOD]

13. I love it all.

[narnian60]

14. I am a total addict.

[Wolf Frankula]

15. Can somebody tell me why

the Summer Olympics are being held in a place where it's winter? The Summer Olympics are in Rio de Janeiro. It's winter there, it is in the Southern Hemisphere.

Shall we hold the next Winter Olympics in Montevideo?

18. I think it's a matter of regional climate rather than longitude.

I think it's a matter of regional climate rather than longitude. Rio's low these days in the mid to low 60's, its high are in the low to mid eighties this time of year: pretty perfect weather for almost any summer sporting event.

[whistler162]

16. When is it?

[pinboy3niner]

20. Dave's not here, man

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

17. Swimming, track & field, gymnastics

Not so interested in sports that have all the usual professional athletes: basketball, tennis, golf.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. Nope, not my thing.

[pinboy3niner]

21. Gymnastics, mainly, both men's and women's

[Skittles]

22. I am wearing my TEAM USA lanyard

I bought it a few years back when I realized it was, *gasp*, MADE IN AMERICA

[applegrove]

23. I saw two athletes hurt badly. I think I'm done.

[bigwillq]

24. I love the Olympics!

I like swimming and track the best, but I watch all the events.

[baldguy]

25. I hear they have a shot for that now.

And after diving into that pool, you'll need it.

[liberal N proud]

26. A lot of gold!
