Normally I have zero time to watch sport, unless it's AFL and I don't catch every game...nowhere near. I'd rather be outside doing something.

Except during the olympics.

Who else turns into a complete olympic nutter during this action packed two week period? Do you find yourself staying up until 2am to watch Bolivia and Chad duke it out in the rhythmic gymnastics or some other obscure 'sport'?

What's your favourite olympic moment, and what's your least favourite?

Favourite moment was all of the diving - especially when Chantelle Newberry won gold while her husband took out the bronze (?).....wonder if she uses it for leverage?

My least favourite moment would have to be when Australian rower Sally Robins fatigued at the last moment in the women's eights final in the Athens olympics. Even though I understand that you can't help fatigue, it was still gut wrenching.

I love the olympics!!! I love the swimmer but I have a bias towards it considering I looked at the black like for many many years. I like watching allof the small sports you never really hear about like the archery etc....The olympics is great finaly somthing on day time TV. I dont thinkthey should schedule any assignments within 2 weeks of the olympics finishing...its just not fair!

I reckon they should suspend uni for the duration...there's so much to watch and so much that I miss because of bloody PBL! Diving finals!
