Anyone a fan of the Olympics?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Absolutely fucking love the Olympics will watch as much as I possibly can especially the swimming and the track cycling and triathlon,I was fortunate enough to be a games maker at 2012 for the triathlon.
With the exception of the equestrian events I pretty much love it all.

"Just realised the Olympics will be on shortly.
Anyone else a fan of the Olympics.
I do enjoy watching certain events on "
We will watch as much as possible... in general we watch quite a lot of sport (not football though) |

Every Olympics I pick 1 event… and watch it beginning to end… it’s fun being that invested
In Beijing it was water polo
In London it was archery
In Rio it was shooting
Haven’t decided on the sport this time yet… |

I like seeing a lot of sports that usually aren't featured much on TV like Judo and weightlifting.
I watched race walking and it looked hilarious but intense. Looking forward to breakdancing making its Olympic debut |

love the equestrian events - know some of the people going - but love watching sports you dont normally see on TV - things like the diving, Tom Daly competing again, the cycling was good last time - rowing, like sports |

"I like the traditional Olympic sports , don’t think the likes of tennis, golf or football should be in it
I'd prefer a different variation of football in it. Like 5v5 "
Good shout , maybe cage football |

"I like the traditional Olympic sports , don’t think the likes of tennis, golf or football should be in it
Tennis is a pretty old/traditional sport.
But not a traditional Olympic sport "
Surely then we would only watch certain running events, a few throwing events, equestrian events and the wrestling? Actually no. Wrestling wasn't original. It came in 708 BC. |

He he you sure it wasn’t 710 bc ?
I’m meaning the more amateur sports that don’t normally get much tv coverage throughout the year |

776 BC for the Olympics themselves and 708 BC for wrestling. Apparently!
I'm curious about which sports you think are amateur but in the current Olympics? |

Track n field, cycling and swimming are defo professional sports nowadays, with Lottery funding and sponsorship deals etc. I'm sure that's the case for most modern Olympic sports, for the UK at least. |

Can’t help it, when those girls are jumping into the sand pit, then you get a close up of them brushing the sand off there cheeks and picking the gusset out there vag |

I do love watching a sport I’m not too familiar with and being really invested for a week or so and then when it’s time for the medal ceremony I still don’t have a clue what the rules are. |

"What sites will it be on or is it just a TV thing?"
The bbc will be allowed to show 4 different sports at any given time live ( so they will probably go 1 on bbc1/2, 1 on bbc3 , plus 2 “behind the red button “
To watch everything “live” you will need discovery+….. if you subscribe to TNT sports either on your tv or through your mobile phone subscription, you’ll already have it |

Something was bugging me so I went and checked.
In the UK there is 2 tiers of discovery plus… if you have sky, and are a sky Q customer, you will have the basic tier package included
If you are subscribed to TNT sports… you will have there premium tier package included
I “think” with the basic package you will get the Eurosport Olympic coverage, and the premium you will get everything live… |
