I love watching the basketball at the Olympics.

Yeah, badminton in fun to watch. I also like watching the weight lifting and boxing.

During the Sydney games I even got entranced in the equestrian - go figure!

Yep Waterpolo is good to watch.

Volleyball isn't that great, however the Beach Volleyball can get tense and exciting. It is like a 1/2 hour long tie-break.

Weightlifting has to be one of the toughest sports to compete, it must be hell on your knees. I don't mind it either.

Yep. The States usually don't send their strongest side. AFAIK there will be no Bryant or Shaq, so it is hardly their strongest side.

Yugoslavia put up a good fight, so do Brail. Australia should do pretty good this year. This is their best chance of a medal, but they will have to win the early games.

atheletics is sooo boring, swimming doesnt thrill me, but its certainly a lot better than the track events, the TV coverage shows way too much of it and forgets the interesting sports IMO
