yes looking forward to it,i do like athletics on the big stage and one thing about us is the crowds should be pretty good and lively and of course london has quite a few nationalities buzzing around,should be good fun

if i lived near one of the footy stadiums i'd definitely go and watch for a laugh,brasil or argentina,spain etc

US =/= America

call me a perv..but I do like watching female gymnastics :p

but I'm really looking forward to track and field/martial arts/basketball

Huh, i was unaware that China had won in total standings in 2008. Silly me.

I reckon us Brits will dominate the cycling again, and we are usually good for a medal in boxing,sailing and rowing. Cant see too much joy in the athletics although Jessicca Enis will be in with a shout and maybe Mo Farah. Is the American swimmer Phelps competing this year? he is awesome.

I care about the Winter Olympics a little bit but not much about Summer Olympics. I usually only watch the 100 meter race and some random stuff if I'm extremely bored.

I love the atmosphere though, it's a fantastic event.

24 different channels showing the Olympics?! Typo?

That's insane. Could they theoretically be having a broadcast at the same time? (obviously there's not going to be enough events, or will there?)

You know, I think the UK is a very big country after all, kow. I think in Sweden there will be around 10 channels in total who will broadcast the Olympics but that's with non-HD channels and commercial channels included.

My favorite event is Women's Volleyball. It's the only event with hot chicks jumping up and down in bathing suits. And before you mention gymnastics, let me stop you right there. They should call it girl's gymnastics because those are not woman.

As for my predictions. I hope to see the USA sweep every event. As a proud American that's what I'd like to see. If the USA gets eliminated then I'll root for the closest free nation, like Canada.

Now for my opinion of the Summer Olympics. Boring. I like the faster and more dangerous Winter Olympics. I don't give a crap how fast some runner can loop a track a few times. Did you know that the boarders in Snow Cross can knock each other over on their way down the course? Yeah and they are going way faster than any runner. Let's compare long jump and Ski Jump. Yeah, the one with actual flight is more interesting to watch isn't it. All I'm saying is I prefer the Winter Olympics. If you like the Summer Games good for you.

Yeah I'm more into the Winter Olympics being Canadian and all but I am looking forward to many things still like swimming or diving.
