I try to catch the Olympics on TV when I can, but I find I fall asleep for the night time broadcast. It would be nice if it was on in real time without all the editing and jumping from one thing to the other. I wouldn't mind watching a whole event and see how the other countries are doing.


What is your favorite event/events? I think the summer Olympics are my favorite. And those bodies on the athletes! The muscles and leaness are unbelievable and I am talking about the women. I still like gymnastics the best, but I am watching the rowing now on Bravo. That is the only place you can see a whole event. Oh, wait, I just found women's soccer on MSNBC. Oh, boy what to watch. I think the women will win out.

I am enjoying the Olympics and thought every time I turn on an event, the stands are almost empty too.

I'm enjoying the gymnastics as well, plus the swimming and diving. I sometimes watch a little of the track and field, mainly for the running. This year I think I'll enjoy that more.

I'd heard that this past Sunday was a Greek Orthodox holiday/festival of some sort which has also slowed up ticket sales.

I've watched bits and pieces of the Olympics. They just don't hold the fascination for me that they used to. I do like the summer Olympics better and like gymnastics and diving the best, although I have been interested to see how Michael Phelps will do. Looks like Mark Spitz' record will stand. He had the greatest abs!!


I heard about the big holiday over there too, so I'm sure that's affecting ticket sales.

I'm just catching some bits and pieces of the aolympics. I did get to watch Phelps take the gold. Now I'm watching gymnastics. I can't imagine all the training and self-disipline they have.
