I love watching events I nevervseen before.

The Italian archers were nailing some bullseyes. Watching fencing now

I watched some table tennis earlier and it makes our epic dorm battles look like ****.

Right now I am watching volleyball

 

[cyrevkah]

Whooooo! Women's volley ball against S. Korea.

Whooooo! Women's volley ball against S. Korea.

I've never seen a chubby VB player before.

 

[SvrWxCy]

I've been watching a majority of the events online, as it seems like there is so much to watch than what NBC is showing. They keep re-airing highlights from last nights' opening ceremony and others while events are ongoing. Is there some sort of problem with airing an event live?

Equestrian is dumb.

Whooooo! Women's volley ball against S. Korea.

Destinee Hooker just smoked that ball

 

[BallSoHard4Cy]

USA is killing S. Korea right now, how did Miranda Leek do yesterday in Archery?

 

[KnappShack]

Women's Foil is entertaining as hell!

 

[CRcyclone6]

Women's Foil is entertaining as hell!

What channel is that on?

 

[Arkansas Cyclone]

I don't know what it is about the Olympics but I'll watch almost any sport, even if it's something I'd never normally watch.

Having said that, I'm a huge fan of both indoor volleyball and beach volleyball (I've actually met Misty May Treanor) and I'm watching the US indoor team right now against S. Korea. My all-time favorite name for 2012: Destinee Hooker. That is one cool name!

 

[Cyclonepride]

I really haven't seen anything that I could get into yet.

 

[acgclone]

I wish that I cared more, but outside of b-ball and some of the sprinting events, I can't really watch for more than 5 min here or there.

I HATE the tape delay.... I like to watch events live. With all the sources of info available these days, its hard to avoid finding out the outcomes before the event. I know why they do it (primetime ratings), but it still sucks. :realmad:

I don't like it, either. I just try not to walk into the spoilers.
Since this is a quiet sports season, it works for me to avoid the news sites a little more.

A lot of these events are ones that I enjoy, but I wouldn't think to go look up the scores on my own. It helps a little bit.

They should work with the commentators to bridge their technical talk with the large # of novice/less frequent viewers. They use a ton of jargon in the events that doesn't really bring a viewer in. I just tune out half or more of what they say.

I am going to have to turn off ESPN and other sports notifications on my phone too... :skeptical:

I live in the dark ages without a smart phone. That helps. :smile:

 

[theantiAIRBHG]

I like the Summer Olympics just fine, but Winter Olympics are the bees knees, IMO.

I could watch curling like 15 hours a day.

But I am enjoying the volleyball right now. Volleyball players are crazy athletes.

Pretty impressed with US men's beach volleyball I don't know they keep the ball up most of the time
