I have to say...I watched nothing of the Olympics (not even the ceremonies and hyped stuff)...we don't have the TV on here much as it is. Plus I'm not a fan of sport. However, I don't mind if other people watch it. It's up to them what they do. I do admire the competitors and their skill, but I don't enjoy watching sport.
My kids are fairly sporty and I'd go to see them play/dance etc...but, I'm never quite sure what's going on. My daughter (the owl one) plays shuttlecock, but she's always losing all her stuff. You have no idea how expensive it is to keep replacing her tennis bats. I think it's three so far! She let go of one while taking a swipe at one of the ball things and it flew straight into a dyke. AND those stupid ball things nearly always get lost on the first whack when there's a high wind. Luckly, she joined a club. The big hall in the leisure centre is much better...no wind...and no dykes!
