Smile The Olympics are coming!

I am a HUGE Olympic fanatic - I cannot wait for any of the events! What are you looking forward to the most? For me, any equestrian event, gymnastics (both regular and rhythmic) and softball are on the top of my list.

As a former swimmer, the events I am most looking forward to is gymnastics! Not a fan of Rhythmic Gym, but a huge fan of Artistic Gym. It is going to be quite the showdown between the US and China for the women's gold.

I was sad to see Paul Hamm had to withdraw because of an injury.

I also love to watch the swimming events and diving events. I am hoping the young diver from Great Britain, Tom Daley, will be the next Greg Louganis.

I will be glued to the TV from 08/08/08 to the closing ceremonies on 8/16!

Swimming, diving, gymnastics, track and field, greco wrestling. Pretty much anything that's on, we will watch. Jalen (ds, 9) is also a HUGE fan of the Olympics. He will just sit here and cheer for the USA. Kylor has been counting down the days until they begin, so yes, we are excited here, too

We always watch swimming and diving, and gymnastics, but our main focus is men's soccer. We know someone on the team so we'll be cheering him on!!!

I'm much more a Winter Olympics fan but I'll tune in to the gymnastics a bit. And I agree with DDuff - not a fan of the pros in the Olympics - never have been.
