With the upcoming Summer Olympics in Greece, I was wondering what people's favorite sport was? I enjoy following Track and Field because of the fast pace and because of the number of events it covers. What is your favorite and why? Thanks!
My favorite summer olympic sport is probably diving. I don't know why I just love it. I also like the swimming events. Probably because I enjoy swimming so much myself. Between swimming and diving, though diving wins by far. Although swimming is second, it isn't a close second.
I have many favourite ones. I don't know the names of some of them in english though I like the one that they have a huge kind of stick and they have to put it on the floor and jump as high as possible. I love the gymnastics competition also.
LDS, they call that pole vaulting in English. I actually enjoy that one quite a bit too. I don't really like the floor exercises or running. I also like the shot-put.
Offtopic but, This flood control is killing me! :--> |
Seems like soccer (football) will be a popular sport at the Olympics this summer especially with how well the Greece national team has been doing in the recent Euro 2004 competition.
Normally, I don't watch sports at all. But this year, we got sucked into the Olympic fever.
I have really loved watching the various women's volleyball events. The beach volleyball was incredible. But I only got to see one match of the regular volleyball. My oldest son absolutely adores Logan Tom, he thinks she is the best athlete at the Olympics. Personally, I think that Misty Mays takes that honor.
Other than that, I love the gymnastics. There are so many fantastic athletes competing there, performing such amazing feats.
Diving is realy fun to watch, but I havent seen any this year. Gymnastics is really fun to watch(I wish I could do some of those stunts ), along with Vollyball(Which I'm pretty good at, but not on a proffessional scale). Those would be my favorites, but I also like the 100 meter dash, cause it is so fast.
