Does anybody actually give a toss about the Olymipcs this summer?

There are Olympics this summer?
^what he said.

didn’t know either. Still don’t care.
I’m pretty much oblivious to it , just hoping it doesn’t interfere with my plans to travel.
Yes, I live near the site and chinook helicopters and fighter planes have been flying over my house and waking up my two year old. I could go on with a litany of complaints. I have no problems with the sporting competition but the capital interests surrounding it all are dismal.
I actually enjoy them…
agree, Harlequin … I enjoy them as well.
Yeah I’m pretty excited for them. Can’t wait to watch some of the track cycling events. The UK women’s team is looking pretty good… if you know what I mean.
They make for some good t.v. watching.
I’m with you Walrus. I did think of getting into it just out of pure eccentricity, but then I realised I can’t be arsed.
I like curling, but that’s probably not a summer sport, so no, I don’t really care
the moment someone I know is in the games I’ll give a flying fox. Untill then not really into competative sports that I’am not playing.
I just never got it. I was always the wheezy, chubby kid that never got picked when the two class athletes were picking their teams in PE class. Then I got very fit, joined the police and was forced to play more f^(£ng team sports. I used to feel like I was back at school. I am just not competitive, not one single sports gene in me. Although, that said I do like to watch England football matches, that might be from having to attend a lot of them in 96 when were were doing well with el tell.
one year in PE class I got in a class with all the out of shape nerds and I’ve always been active if not into sports. It was funny cause I always got picked first. First period of the day and since I didn’t want foot rot I just smelled of sweat all day and you know what I think girls like that just a heads up really.
While i can’t handle team spots I’ve found muay thai to be quite enjoyable , bruises and all.
I like to watch the weightlifting.
The city I’m living in used to be the center of Olympic training in Mongolia. Probably only like 25% of the Olympic athletes will train here, so I’m looking forward to seeing that.
Maybe because it’s an infrequent deal, I check it out now and then. But I tend to quickly get bored with most televised sports. (soccer in the USA/ football in the UK) is kind of cool to me, but rarely on television in this part of the world. Or hockey can be fun to watch too. I wonder, outside of the US or Canada, how many of you are familiar with the sport?
