Zidane's Poll of the Week #345

[Zidane]

I'll be honest, I haven't watched them. Don't really care, is it because I'm a fluffy lazy dude? Maybe, but I'm just not interested in it.

Oh well.

I've watched most of the basketball games, but that's about it. I've watched a couple random events here and there, but basketball is the only one I'm following closely. Just hoping USA wins the overall medal count!

[CrispyGoomba]

I like watching the coneoing parts, swimming, and gymastics for the ladies

Have you been watching the Olympics?

Nope, not at all.

Maybe one day when I become an old boring adult I'll watch them. XD

[Tingle]

I enjoy watching certain sports, but not the Olympics. I don't know who anyone is, and I don't know much about the sports they're competing in (I don't pretend to either). I don't really understand the fascination. Every two years people get into a frenzy about the Olympics, but no one follows these sports in between them. I can appreciate all the hard work the athletes put in just to compete there, but I still don't find it interesting enough to watch.

Yup, I've been watching it every day. Basketball, swimming, volleyball, beach volleyball, running, tennis, water polo, women's gymnastics, men's gymnastics, rowing, and anything else they show. Although I am enjoying basketball and tennis the most. Yeah, some events are boring and some of the exciting ones only last for a few seconds, but it is still great entertainment.

I don't understand why people watch the Olympics in the first place. It's all a bunch of sports that nobody cares about the rest of the year, but just because it's the Olympics, people will gather around the TV to watch curling and water polo. However, once they're over, I will take a quick look at how many medals certain countries won.

I watched the clip of the girl performing to the Legend of Zelda medley...that's about it.

Well that's exactly why I wasn't all that hyped before it started. But I've got really into it, I think precisely because I don't follow most of the sports. I mean I'm never going to follow things like beach volleyball or fencing like I do tennis or football normally, but it's been cool sitting down and getting engrossed in some of the matches for obscure sports. A lot of them are pretty good to watch just as a neutral. And they aren't things you normally get to see, let alone in such a big event.

Of course it probably helps it's in my home country, so everything's on during the day/ evening when I can watch it. I might not have gotten so into it if I was relying on highlights and replays.

[HammerGalladeBro]

Some of them, but not all the events.

[pummy84]

Not really. I've seen them on in places I go to from time to time, but I don't really care to watch em.

Where's the option between 'a little' and 'non stop'? That describes me at the moment, I watch it quite a bit but not all the time.
