Which Olympic games are you going to watch?

[Sakurafairy]

I always love to watch swimming, artistic gymnastics, basketball and volleyball. I'm a greatest fan of Michael Phelps so my greatest Olympic that I watched on TV is the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. He won 8 gold medals in all swimming events so I greatly value that SO of 2008. I also love to watch Basketball especially Women's Basketball.

@partyon honestly I'm not that interested in anything going on there. I'm on vacation right now, so trying to enjoy being off-line more.

Are you planning on watching any of the sports on TV today?

 

I was just watching beach volleyball, and am planning on catching judo, skateboarding and sailing.

 

@partyon  Paris 2024 Olympics are heating up now. There’s a packed schedule of Olympic sports, some of which are already entering their finals. I've just watched the Artistic Gymnastics, Fencing and Rowing.

Just enjoyed watching South Korea win Gold in Archery! (the women!)
And Simon Biles's routine on the floor and vault.

@partyon I think I need NBC or Peacock to watch the Olympics.  I have neither one!   I think I can watch replays, but not as fun.  I'd like to watch the US Men's swimming.  I'd like to watch the opening ceremony too--or parts of it.  I'm not as into the Olympics as I used to be

@CarolynH  Lady Gaga delivered a dazzling performance, except it was all prerecorded. She was accompanied by a troupe of eight dancers carrying pink feather fans. IDK why her performance was prerecorded.

@lilyphenix  Actually, South Korea has won many Olympic gold medals in the past years in the women's archery. SK remained undefeated always for this event. They lead all countries in Olympic archery, always appear to be in the driver's seat.    Same here, also enjoyed Simon Biles' routine on the floor and vault.      Simone Biles made a stunning return to Olympic competition, with a minor injury. But Biles remains the benchmark. In fact, there's a deafening roar when Biles was introduced.

@willenette Thank you for your answer! I saw what you wrote as well about the challenge in watching in having access to NBC or Peacock. I have been catching bits and pieces on YouTube...

Nope, cut the cord years ago.  The TV is on at work, but the prime events are usually in the evening, I think.

@CarolynH  Paris is six hours ahead of U.S. Eastern time and nine hours ahead of Pacific time. As a result, many events (and finals) will take place early in the morning U.S. time. As a result, NBC will air two daily Olympics shows, one that coincides with Paris’s prime time (from 2:00 p.m. ET through 5:00 p.m. ET) and another in traditional U.S. prime time, which will show highlights. NBC’s broadcast channel is the heart of the network’s coverage.

My favorite Olympic event would be the 100-meter sprint in track and field. It’s the ultimate test of speed, power, and explosiveness, with the fastest athletes in the world competing head-to-head. The sheer intensity and excitement packed into just under 10 seconds make it one of the most thrilling events to watch. The 100-meter sprint often crowns the "fastest person on Earth," which adds to the prestige and allure of the race.
