    Looooove the olympics, don't give a **** about swimming or acrobatics though. Track&Field, basketball and soccer are where it's at.
    Bolt vs. Blake will be hot, I fully expect a new WC or a time really close to that(100m and 200m).

    110m hurdles the same, Liu Xiang will come with a new WC if the weather conditions are right.

    100m hurdles, Pearson with a time under 12.30.

    800m we all know Rudisha got this, 400m it's Culson.

    Could go on forever, waited a loong time for this.

    Who's going? I'm thinking of going mid-week...but I should probably look at the schedule of events. I've got a friend who is going to compete in volleyball so I might try to find out when she would play.

    I'd love to check out track events or basketball, but don't know how much those tickets would be. Maybe I'll do some "scouting" for some of the international Rockets who might be on the team next year haha.

    Pretty excited for the Olympics. I'm nothing short of a fanatic. Sports that I wouldn't give a second of my time to during the four years in between Olympics suddenly have me glued to the TV for these two weeks.

    Yes. Men's and women's. Probably the most interesting women's sport (more so than tennis).

    The one time (every four years) where you have the oppotunity to watch sports and events that normally you wouldn't care to see. Swimming and Gymnastics are the big ones for me. I'd love Track and Field more if they showed more of the Field Events.

    But shoot I'll pretty much be watching nonstop all day... Much to the consternation of my wife!

    Any hot female soccer players in the Olympics? Only chance I watch the Women's soccer tournament is if you guys here post some hot pictures of participants.

    Had a boner the size of the eifel tower watch Alex, except when they panned to the French women.
