Poll #38: Olympics 2008

[Andy]

How much are you watching the Olympics this year?

[jordanisonfire]

The Olympics doesn't interest me much. China's winning, right?

[Andy]

With Gold, yes. Total medals won, no. If anyone's been watching Michael Phelps, he lives near my high school.

I've watched... about five minutes of it so far. I would much rather be writing my novel than watching it.

[Carraka]

This is the first time I'm really watching them, and as it is with most first-time things, I just go all out.

I mean, I don't sit in front of the TV all day, but ... I do sit in front of the TV all evening. And when I can get a soccer game, I'll get up early to watch it.

Isn't Phelps moving back to Baltimore? You can punch butterflies with him!

[Alex]

I'll watch the basketball games once the schedule gets tougher ((Greece, Spain, Germany)) and I'll watch some of the Hockey. Not much else

The soccer just isn't as interesting to me as watching the European Cup was a few months ago so...

[Pibs]

If I had to get sick, this was a great time to do it - I can sit around having soup and watching the Olympics all day! Yay! But now that I'm feeling better I won't get to as much... so around and hour or so a day, I'll bet.

[Phantom]

I've watched it A LOT! I love the Olympics.

[Midnight_Moon]

I watch it for couple minutes when I see my sister watching it but then usually left to do other things. I'm not a huge sports fan. The Olympics are OK, but I'm a bigger fan of the winter ones.

[Simmi]

Aww man I'm the only one who just watched the opening cerimonies... I feel, well, out of the loop >.< I'm not a big olympics fan so it doesn't really matter to me who wins and who doesn't although I sometimes watch the soccer games (soccer fan). So yeah...

[Elvenscholar]

At my one job, there's a small t.v. in the kitchen (small-town restaurant), so I get to watch the Olympics for like 5 hours whenever I work.

[Ichigo]

I've only seen bits of it. Like the mens gymnastics. :P

[sXe_Jinxeh]

I always watch the Olympics. I haven't been watching it too much this year, because of real life...

but Canada cannot get thier crap together! :( Come on guys!! We're rooting for you!

[asian-fanatic]

the olympic opening was amazing and many people have agreed that China has simply taken it's best efforts to produce the best opening there has ever been. GO CHINA FTW

I'm interested mostly in the swimming, so other than that, I only check scores every now and then. I'm so busy with life guarding =='

[sXe_Jinxeh]

There were problems with the opening.

Those footprints? Digitally enhanced for TV.

That little girl? Lip syncing. The real girl had crooked teeth.

[random_writer]

I just watch when I have time, and when it occurs to me that the Olympics are on...

[seikoXchan]

If anyone's been watching Michael Phelps, he lives near my high school.
That is majorly awesome. :D

[Zayuh]

GO SHAWN JOHNSON, GO SHAWN JOHNSON! GO NASTIA LIUKIN, GO NASTIA LIUKIN!
The victory of Michael Phelps was amazing, yes, but it's wearing off very quickly.
Hell yes, Shawn Johnson.

[Ichigo]

Shawn Johnson did amazing.

[Midnight_Moon]

Yeah, I'm so glad Shawn got gold in balance beam. And having Nastia get silver. GO TEAM USA!!! Take that China.

[The_First_Investigator]

Didn't watch any - because I wasn't really interested. I just wonder the whole time how the Olympic Games culd be played in Beijing.
