Do you think the Olympics are a wast of time? Really cool? Something else? Tell me!

I used to really look forward to watching them though in the recent years with the allegations of foul play and controversies surrounding the Olympic I've opted to spend my time elsewhere.
I do enjoy sports, though I've never gotten a kick off watching them on television.

I find them really inspiring. I do theater and I'm really [censored] at sports but watching the Olympics usually makes me want to drop everything and pursue my talent for running fast. (Yes, I actually am a pretty fast runner.)

Yeah I agree. I like them.

I used to enjoy them, but with the past two locations covered in controversy, I haven't been as interested. I mainly watch the ice skating, so I don't watch the summer ones near as much.

I love watching the Olympics my favorites to watch are gymnastics and swimming and ice skating

Sarah, ice skating is in the Winter Olympics. The others I really like, too, even though the gymnastics are on when I am in bed and asleep.

I KNOW RIGHT. I'm so bummed out about that...My sister and I tried the live stream, but they don't really cover the athletes that well, and so I didn't get to see my favorite gymnast's(Laurie Hernandez) floor, which was completely lame...Because NBC should be covering our girls >_> Anyway...Regarding Gymnastics...Simone Biles will pretty much get Gold AA...Her qualifying AA score was literally 2 full points ahead of the second placer (Aly Raisman), and that's insanely ahead of everyone else!! But what's cool is that the top three scores of the women's qualifications were our girls so I think USA has this competition locked upppp =o

The Olympics? That thing I watch since I'm on vacation and have nothing to do? Oh no wait, I have the Flash and Supergirl to watch.

I just realized that in the Olympics you are supposed to cheer for your own country. 0__0 #didn'tknow

We don't have TV sooooo. =p

*shoves Ox off a cliff*

He saw a lot of the games this year ON TV.

I always cheer for the poor person who is losing the most.

SUPERGIRL? *squeals* ITS THE BEST. I just started the Flash.

Did anyone else see the American gymnasts last night?!?! They are at least one point ahead of everybody else!!!!

And Michael Phelps? He won his twenty-first gold medal, three seconds ahead of everyone else in the pool!!!!!! Team USA is just stomping everyone else into the dust, gold and silver medalists at every turn, it is so cool to watch!!!!!!!!!

Eh doesn't America usually stomp the rest of the world into the dust?

Well that is true. Still, it was pretty cool
