Gymnastics when people are swinging about and miss the bar/land on their head etc.
Also watching people crying when something they have been training and trying for 4 years for falls to an arse in a matter of seconds.

100 metres for me. Usain bolt should win unless he gets a false start again! And the football should be good! Must say I don't mind women's beach volleyball either!

Used to love it at school but lost interest although always watch the Olympic basketball - USA still different class? Who their man threat? yeah mate, huge bulls fan. thought this was our year, then derrick rose got injured in the first game of the playoffs & our season was over. used to play at school myself but played centre & most centres would be 7 footers. unfortunately for me i stopped growing when i was about 13 & once my classmates caught me the basketball career was over. yeah team usa the one to beat. they'll miss rose & dwight howard but i expect they'll start tyson chandler & dwyane wade in their place & they'd both get in pretty much every other team anyway. i'd expect spain to get silver. pau & marc gasol, serge ibaka, fernandes & calderon are all decent nba players with the two gasols & ibaka all-star quality. ricky rubio misses out through injury which will hurt but still think they'll finish with silver. like their footballing counterparts they are back to back european champions. |

Can't beat a Dwight Howard superman dunk by the way... used to like lebron but those 7 words just ruined him for me. "i'm taking my talents to south beach." his handling of that was terrible. howard is brilliant. i'm gutted the bog man will miss the olympics. i see the nets are trying to put together a trade for him, can't see it working. |

Kobe has had alot of injuries last year pele i think. was an unreal player on and off court remember him scoring like 47 points in MSG. And I had heard that maccers that they had moved to Brooklyn was out there a few years ago not much in that part of town. Will be interesting with them and the Knicks who have improved next year. Though the nfl starts in September can't wait!!! |

aye pele kobe is kind of past his best now. last 2 years he's been fairly inconsistent. still capable of hitting 40-50 points but he'd do little for a week after it. lakers have signed steve nash this off-season. he's old but still a great point guard & with him and kobe in the backcourt & pau gasol in the paint they might have one last shot at kobe equalling mj's 6 titles. have to find a way past a young & explosive Oklahoma City Thunder first though.
Lebron is the main man now with guys like Howard, Rose & Durant looking to take his crown.
love the nfl too. who is your team? i'm a big eagles fan.

Ooohhhh I love the redskins been a fan since I was about 5 my dad got me into it skins use to be good 80s early 90s but since then then have spent so much money on over-rated or past it players ie mcnabb or prime time Deion Sanders. This year will be different drafted an unreal qb better than Vick I've said for years but this year we have a chance. Hail the redskins |

Hail the redskins lol, i was beginning to like you until that post. you may as well have just told me you were taking your talents to washington, lol. your right though about spending silly money. dan snyder is an absolute eejit when it comes to throwing money about. couldnt believe the deal you gave us for mcnabb, he was done a year or two before leaving us. rg3 is an awesome talent. don't like saying it but that was a great move. personally i rate him higher than andrew luck. i think it'll be a season or two before he makes an impact though. it's hard as a rookie & the skins o-line is rotten. once they sort it though rg3 will be top class. pierre garcon was a decent signing too. |

Dan Snyder is a man who would be an awesum premier league owner just throws money at anything to try and win. Shanahan is trying to sort the team will take a few years but we have given so much up to get rg3 though we have a few other good young talents like Ryan Kerrigan and Anthony Armstrong to name a few plus resigning London fletcher was a big move. As for ur eagles labelled the dream team last year they have alot to prove this year. NFC east hardest division by far. Can't wait to roll into the Lincoln financial field and beat up on Vick and Jackson |

Can't wait to roll into the Lincoln financial field and beat up on Vick and Jackson lol, aye good luck with that, we've beat you last 3 times & i fancy it to continue. vince young gave us that label, idiot. we made a big splash in free agency last year. brought in about 7 or 8 starters & new line coaches, defensive co-ordinator. all good moves imo, problem was the lockout. everything brand new & no off season for all the new faces to gel & learn the system. add desean jackson holding out, jeremy maclin was near dead & never trained. bad season just. we ended 4-0 & i think there was only one or two games all year we never had a 4th quarter lead. we struggled against the run too but we have signed a pro-bowl mlb from houston, demeco ryans. we get lesean mccoy playing as well as he did last year, jackson & maclin training hard & we will be fine. this is vicks first off season as a starter since he left atlanta. in jail 2-3 years then was backup up to mcnabb, kolb & then the lockout. fancy us for playoffs at least. |

Alot of pressure on all the NFC teams cowboys been aweful for years Jerry jones has threw everything at them romos last shot I'd guess and the giants champions will have a bullseye on them gonna say we will sneek a wildcats spot and get to the NFC championship game were we will lose to a terrible call an have no challenges left lol vicks story is unreal wen u read it all as he wasn't the only player who liked a dog fight. Remember he came in to FedEx field 2 years ago and destroyed us with Jackson 52- sumthing stayed up to like 4 am for that beating.

lol, near sure it was 59-28. class that night. 35-0 after our first five drives. think jackson only caught 4 passes that game but added up to over 200 yards. remember he had a tussle with two skins in the warmup as it was just after he came back from concussion & they told him he would be asleep in a few minutes. first play vick to jackson 70-80 yard td with the two redskins lying in a heap after they collided trying to hit jackson. desean ran the last 20-30 yards backwards asking how their mothers were. lol. happy memories.

That was it we have never replaced the late Sean Taylor who prob would have went on to be 1 of the best safeties ever hit hard as hell and was learning to jump routes. Amazing how many nfl players end up dead so early Alot I them r proper gangbangers lol u eve read the story about Marvin Harrison frm the colts ??
