Favorite Olympic sport to watch?

I subscribed to Peacock so we can watch any/all sports and have really enjoyed the Rugby 7s games. Those are fun to watch. Very fast paced! I wish Clemson had a team ("official" as opposed to club) - that would be fun to go to.

It's been fun to catch snippets of all the others, too. Surfing has been cool - they're doing some really good videography for that which makes it even more interesting.

The reaction time and hand eye coordination in badminton is astonishing.***

Agree with the two you listed. Those have been fun to watch. I also enjoy swimming and all the track and field events. I’m waiting on the brake dancing to see what that’s all about lol.

It's new to the Olympics as is its companion event, lawfare:

Otherwise, I enjoy watching the swimmers swim and the sprinters sprint.

I can't get into hand ball or judo or sword fighting.

I don't think we're gonna need the security cameras for this next part.


Hand ball and swording seem like risqué French events.***

Then the indoor volleyball.

The crem da la crem....if I did that right ....is the 100 meter....200 meter .....400 meter straight runs. The relays of the same races I've mentioned.....and the long jump as well.

After that, I happened upon a handball game. That was fun to watch.

I will watch artistic gymnastics because those are athletes. Rhythmic gymnastics can be abolished.

I have also enjoyed watching diving.
