Which sports are you looking forwards to? - Page 2

I don't mind watching some diving, actually. Probably for the same reason people watch a lot of car racing, I want to see someone crash and burn.

There's a lot of sports that I can watch half an hour of, after that it bores me. So I'm looking forward to the Olympics catering to my small attention span.

looking forward to athletics, swimming, boxing, badminton and shooting hopefully we will win some medals in that and volleyball (not beach) only time we get to see quality matches on tv

Yeah, looking forward to how ESPN - Star cover it. DD were mostly woeful in their coverage, so anything would be a improvement.

Keeping most of my attention to the track. Apparently if Kenya contrive to make the final of the 4x400m mens event we could see a David Rudisha v. Usain Bolt. Apart from that my prayer is David Dunford gets a medal in the pool and a boxer, any boxer comes good for kenya.

Athletics, Field Hockey and the Marathon.

morgieb · 01-06-2012, 06:46 PM

Whatever Australia has a chance in.

I adore the table tennis - but they never show anything except highlights - yet show oodles of gymnastics.

My major peeve is gymnastics.

First you compete as a team in all the events.
Then you compete by yourself.
then you compete again by yourself in your favourite events.

You can win a bundle of gold medals if you are good enough.

Should combine the individual and the team event into one comp.

From Spikey's list they quite clearly need to re-assess how many golds they award to each sport - Fencing 10 golds wtf, Weight Lifting and Wrestling too many as well, I mean WWF used to get by with just the Championship, Intercontinental and the Tag Team title

Anything in which we beat the Poms.

So pretty much everything then. You blokes have never been particularly good at anything other than cricket, to be honest.

vic_orthdox · 04-06-2012, 05:27 AM

Haha, they'll beat us this year in the Olympics.
