Well i sorta like watching swimming... but i dislike micheal phelps. Track and Field is also fun to watch, High Jump... 100m 200m... and the 10 000m with those skinny eathiopians is pretty cool too.
Track and Field is finally starting up this week, so there'll be something more interesting to see.
While I understand that a nation's coverage is going to focus on the events their athletes are competing in, I'm still a bit miffed that despite all the advances in cable tech over the last 10 years, we still get the same kind of "funnel vision" network coverage that we got when I was a kid.
I'd love to watch fencing and the equestrian events, but since US athletes pretty much never medal in those events, you'll be hard pressed to see any coverage on them. I don't dislike swimming and gymnastics, but after seeing the same events my whole life, maybe I'd like to see something a bit different?
