So, 3 days untill the opening of London 2012.

How much interest is there outside of the UK? It's all over the news here, hardly anything else is in the headlines.

What events in particular will you be watching/supporting?

[AlexGTAGamer]

Well I'll watch the opening ceremony, then that'll be it. All of the events I'll just watch the highlights of. Although I may or may not decide to watch the beach volleyball.

[johnny_zoo]

Yep Im loving all the news artilcs ane hype surrounding the games its a great time for Britain to really shine and boost the economy in the UK. I will be watching...

Mens:
100m
110m Hurdles
200m
400m

all the important track events. However I wont watch any marathons. If I want to fall into a coma Ill overdose on meth.


everything else I will try and catch on highlights. Theres so many events I dont think anyone could watch it all unless you went without sleep for 2 weeks.

I don't really have time to watch the Olympics but I will probably watch some parts of the athletics. That's the only kind of summer olympics sports I follow. Too bad Sweden doesn't have any stars anymore though. But on the other hand there are guys like Usain Bolt that are interesting to follow so it doesn't really matter.

[niko bellic half brother]

Haha! Yep, the Olympics/athletics have never really interested me. But seeing as it's happening here in the UK, I've deciceded to show some enthusiasm.

Womans volleyball is definitely at the top of the list to watch - for the great sport it is of course

[NateShaw92]

wanna see how badly we cock up the opening ceremony - we have to, it is British tradition, what better way to represent our country other than f*cking it up in the most epic way imaginable
maybe watch the football too.

I love the Summer Olympics.

assuming the time works out I always try to watch as much as possible when it's live.
if I can't work out the times then I will definitely be recording all the live events to watch later.

and we're having people over Thursday for a little opening ceremony party.
unfortunately London will never be able to do anything like what the Chinese did in 2008 (same goes for most countries) but I imagine it will still be pretty awesome.

Sailing is about the only sport I'm really interested in with the summer Olympics. That's because I do a bit of sailing and because I've sailed the same waters they're using for the Olympics.

I think the Olympics are a great goal for athletes and for national pride, but they're just not the same when your nation isn't hosting them.

We had it in 1948, and I heard about that when I was in year 8 or 9 at secondary school on a class trip with my P.E class (physical education class) in Wembley Stadium, the old one, before they knocked down/moved the two towers.
That was cool, but I thought, because of that, 'not in my lifetime' because, we already had it. And this was like 1999/2000, I think it was November 1999.

I remember we were bidding, and all around Westminster, they had back the bid, or something... THEN, we won it, 'then we got bombed' - We got it on the 6th of July and then 7/7 happened less than 24 hours later in the morning. - I remember it was us, Paris and New York City, and... I didn't think we was going to win, (because of 1948 I guess), I just assumed Paris was going to get it... America, have hosted it a lot.

I think, hehe, looking back, I think Manchester bidded for the 2004 or 2008 Olympics, or, something like that.

[darthYENIK]

I prefer the winter Olympics. More specifically hockey.

Oh well, always excited to see the U.S.A. dominate, I guess.

I've got tickets to the football this Sunday at Wembley and tickets to the stadium for the Paralympics (same day Oscar Pistorius runs the 400m final) and I should be watching the majority of it on TV. Having an athletics mad girlfriend helps.

[niko bellic half brother]

Well, pretty good start for team GB.

Womans football:

Great Britain 1 - 0 New Zealand

woohoo!!!!!!!!!

[pauliux2]

I'll watch everything, since it's going to be on TV from the morning till the evening.
But i'll get crazy when the basketball gets on...It's not going to be lying in the bed anymore...

[fgcarva1]

Football, 100M, 400M Volleyball (both men's and women's) maybe Basketeball.

[Chunk]

Can't wait.

[AndyGanteks]

Lots of my countrymen are taking part in the Olympics, but i'm kinda not interested...
Maybe if our football team qualified, then i'd watch it.

[Baseball]

All the USA basketball games.

[hulklogann]

USA baketball
