"Track events up to 1500m with the exception of the 3000m steeplechase
Curious as to why? "
As to why the steeplechase makes it into my favourites list even though it falls out of my max distance? It's the added hazards and it's endurance running, hurdles and long jump rolled into one |

"Diving , gymnastics and track & field "
I think I’m in agreement, although I like most of them, but I’d have to include our excellent equestrians too |

"I've really been into the weightlifting this year. The strength and control they have over such a heavy weight is insane!"
It’s really quite impressive isn’t it. |

It is. The large men can throw over their heads, what I can only pick up to above my knees. Insane |

"I don’t tend to watch much sport, but there’s something about the Olympics isn’t there. So much dedication and focus.
What’s your fave event?"
I have watch most of the Olympics, really enjoyed the variety. I have watched stuff I would never normally think of viewing and it has been fantastic. I really do admire those athletes  |

"Weightlifting, Judo, athletics, track cycling, rugby sevens.
There’s rugby? "
Sevens rugby, men and womens. The womens is really good, honestly probably my favourite of them all so far. |

"I’ve found myself completely hooked on the sport climbing. It’s so engrossing"
Have to say the coverage at BBC is shoddy so having to make do with forum and YouTube stuff.
Hopefully since today is medals they will show a bit more.
Judo is also an old favourite |

Watching a mates face of enjoyment at the BMX wins and medals, still being proud of the team he’s helping coach medals or not… knowing he could still smash a top finish himself |

"Triathlon or cycling. Or some of the less obvious stuff like shooting. Haven’t watched the climbing yet but I’m excited to see it. "
Speed climbing is something else with the added bonus of some fit women. |

Yeah the speed climbing is mad but it’s the bouldering that really fascinates me. You can see the cogs turning in their heads as they work everything out |
