Olympics Poll

[Grace]

Track & Field, Gymnastics, Basketball, Sailing, Diving - love the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. Remember the Marathon in Rome, 1960 - Abebe Bikila running barefoot?

Winter Olympics are really my favorites - fewer events, but love all the skiing and hockey. Lillehammer in 1994 was the very best of all the ones I've seen - and my first was 1956 in Melbourne, Australia

Does anyone else remember Franz Klammer, Innsbruck 1976 - or Lake Placid 1980, Miracle on Ice?

[Alysser]

Probably watch it when it's convienent. I don't even turn on my TV much as it is. I am more of a winter sports person anyhow

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

We will watch as much as possible

[pomtzu]

I'm more of a winter Olympics fan too, but will probably watch the opening and closing event, and some of the swimming, diving and gymnastics if the time is convenient.

[Bonny]

My favorites are the horses dressage, cross country, & then the stadium jumping & the girls gymnastics.

[Killearn Kitties]

Does anyone else remember Franz Klammer, Innsbruck 1976 ...

An all time classic! They still show that run from time to time.

[sparks19]

Definitely will be watching.

We love the swimming, gymnastics, track and field, diving. probably a bunch of others

[Kirsten]

Wanted to watch the opening ceremony tonight but now I probably won't because I heard they've got farm animals involved which may be slaughtered after the ceremony. Signed a petition against it earlier today.
But I will probably watch some of the sport events, not sure which ones.

BTW, does anyone still remember our Kitty Olympics thread from 2004? Lily and Luna teamed up with Barbara's Tigris and Filou. We had so much fun those days!

[Randi]

I probably won't be watching much of it, I'll be cat-sitting. I'm not that much into sport anyway.

[momcat]

I'm very much looking forward to equestrian show jumping and dressage. Soncat has 40+ ribbons in jumping and I was learning dressage - my absolute favorite is the kur (dressage to music). Also love gymnastics, swimming, and track & field.

Even though I'm a gazillion percent behind Team USA, I wish good luck to all of the athletes in their competitions.

[Kirsten]

My biggest wish for the Olympics is that everyone will be safe! There was a lot on Munich '72 on German tv lately, and I hope something like that will never happen again!

[wolf_Q]

I voted nah, why bother but I really would just vote no....I'd probably watch some of it but I don't have TV.

Rowing, rowing and more rowing!!!!

My brother, a crew (formal name for rowing) coach for over 35 years, coached one guy that's on the U.S. team's 8 man shell.

[Asiel]

I keep my eye on the Olympics if nothing else is taking up my time. But I do want to watch the equestrian part of it, wouldn't miss that for anything, especially the dressage.
