Are you sick of the Olympics?

[Jeeepers]

My option wasn't in the poll. So I went for 2.

Where was the What? are the Olympics on? option?

[Silver Ghia]

I do remember now, I did enjoy watching the womens pole vault at the Sydney olympics with Tatiana doing well.

Please allow me to offer my apologies to the pro-olympic, stereotyping accusing gits who have obviously never heard of a joke. I shudder to think how you will react when you find out that there is more to life than watching someone else living theirs and thinking "that makes me so damn proud". :togo:

You take up a Sport for Yourself not for the Public. I'd say there is a grater % of arm chair You know what's, who sit down and watch the Olympics, football and other sporting events and yell at the TV every time one of these Sportsman or women don't preform.

I may not like to sit down and watch the Olympics but you'll never hear me criticizing one of em if they have a bad day at the office.

[4.0i_SiX]

does anyone know if any of the channels will be showing the boxing events? This is about the only thing that would interest me....I really dont care if someone can swim faster than someone else. More important things in life...at least boxing is entertaining

according to channel 7 they are screening it and it is going to be held on top of the great wall of china

[redranga]

I dont watch the tv much anymore because its all crap on it.

What annoys me more is the obsession with football in the media.

Last night's evening news was about Collingwood footballers, tonight its about wayne carey. Why are these meatheads made out to be superstars? If I sit down a six to watch the news i'd like to see news for 15 mins and then they can have 15 mins of sport.

Most of the time football is on the front cover of the paper here too.

I'm compelled to agree, being a motor sport fan i don't give hoot about ball sports, the media saturation drives me crazy.

[BADEF-6]

who wants to watch all the freaks of the world come together into one place for a few weeks????? my dvd collection is going to cop a bashing i think!

The Collingwood thing had nothing to do with football so they couldnt put it in the sports segment. And news is news whether its sport, political, international whatever.

[HOEBAG]

mmmm
not a fan of ball sport here either!
not really THAT into motorsport either.
more into science and space.
thats where the good is!

[burnz]

for those without foxtel

[GlennBA]

Get foxtel

[st33l3y]

Amen.

I'm going to the Geelong V Melbourne match tonight just to stay away from the Olympic hoo-ha for as long as possible.

As I said, the most overrated sporting event in the world.

Thought I'd be safe with Top Gear being on SBS but no, even then I will miss it and get all the boring non-commercially usable sports like cycling and synchronised swimming.

Bugger the Olympics, I know the Chinese locked their people out of the internet but why is Australia locking us out of something better to watch?

I wont watch it on principle


The Chinese have much to answer for

[Auslandau]

Always look forward to them ........ so many late nights for the next two weeks. Bring em on! : Even watched the soccer last night which I really struggle to watch at the best of times!

I like them for what they are, dont care what the Chinese have done in the past or now ...... its the Olympics and I love em

i'm ok with the olympics but for the sake of our sanity please someone tell kochie amd melsey smiley cheesy to stop mentioning the smog
maybe they can bring some home in a bottle(smog) and have it analysed by today-tonight's anna coren(exclusive!!!)or maybe even compare it to home brand corn flakes to see what will kill you first :

[Fairlane]

I just bought the James Bond 21 DVD box set. So im set no more suffering watching the Latvian Judo team.

May watch a couple of major events, but i think the old DVD player will get a caning.

[MAGPIE]

Not sure what is worse, people moaning about the Olympics or people moaning about the FG Falcon

[Josh_XC]

It hasent even started yet? How can you be sick of it.

Im not sick of it, just sick of the mention of the smog!

Im jealous, Bond would be far better to watch than bald headed butt brain Koch

[MoreHPformyXR6]

For those that love the Olympics enjoy the "Opening Ceromany" tonight as I will. Gives me my first real look of the Birds Nest Stadium. (from the outside it looks like its name sake).

[pertuan]

I like the Olympics. I think it is a good thing that *insert warm fuzzy feeling here* people from all over the world can forget their differences and just compete and let their performance speak for themselves.

HOWEVER, what I am sick of is all the allegations of drug cheats and such. I say, its a fact of life now. Just accept it. The Olympics has 2 contests. The first is the athletes. The second is the science behind the athletes.

I hate the channel 7 coverage though. They never show the lesser known sports. We only ever see the swimming, athletics, rowing, basketball and thats pretty much it. I'd like to see some squash, badminton, martial arts, volleyball etc. Show some sports that we don't get to see every day!
