    Nope! Couldnt care less and no I've never been in the Olympics.


    At some point I will read online about who won the archery competition (probably somebody from Korea) and then I will know the outcome without having to suffer through the coverage.

    I love the olympics...or more the idea of the olympics. But for some reason I am not excited about it. I do like to see the outcomes and the highlights but wont watch much. I also dont have any form of tv at the moment so that makes it hard to watch lol. Im a bigger fan of winter olympics, more action, and Im a snowboarder so i like to watch all the different things they do these days.

    I watched it when I was a kid and we only had about 5 channels on tv. I don't think I've watched a second of it since the Dream Team played 20 years ago.

    I watch the swimming because my son swims on a year round competitive team and I swim almost every day... just finished 6000 yards for the day.

    I do not put forth effort in order to view the Olympics. If I happen to catch some, that isn't bad either.

    I'll be watching it alot. I'm a fan of summer and winter Olympics. Mainly track and field and gymnastics. Its amazes me what these kids are able to do. It's just UN-AMERICAN not to root for your country.

    I hope America wins all the contests. I'm just not going to spend one second with the tedious coverage.

    Big fan of the olympics, always have been. I'll try and watch as much as possible.

    One year for the winter games, I believe it was 06, I was off the whole 2 weeks (switching jobs) and watched all day & night. It was february & had nothing else to do. Loved it.

    Good to see that they still dont allow crossbows and that its still a human powered event.
