Olympic sports that you've watched that you wouldn't normally watch

Its a strange one for me because I got no interest at all in rugby but I'm enjoying watching the women's rugby 7s.
I wouldn't want to fight that bald headed woman who plays for us. She's scary.

Fencing
Rowing
Swimming
Judo

Archery. After watching the team finals, I got my 44 year old long bow down from the attic and shot some arrows out the back. One skidded off the apple tree, hit the wall and landed in my next doors neighbours rabbit hutch, missed the rabbit by a couple of inches. Bows gone back up the attic.

I quite enjoyed the fencing but unlike some other sports (like sync diving) where you can sort of work out whats good or bad after 15mins of watching I found it baffling as to who was making the hits. Even when they went to the "third umpire" I was still none the bloody wiser

I watched a bit of the skeet shooting earlier. About as exciting as watching a plank warp. Definitely more of a participation sport that one.

watching a bit of the synchronised diving at the moment. Come on Tom (and the other lad)

Steady on boss. He's a good looking lad and all but he's only about 12.

what if football diving was in the olympics like woah hahaha mind ****ing blown

would the winner have the most yellow cards? like how are you meant to be a pro at it if your gonna **** up the team in disciplinery tables?

Well done guys. Bronze for the British divers, beating the Germans into 4th place.

Just missed the women's beach volleyball! Tampin!

Anything where the girls wear tight clothing :getscoat:

All of them. Apart from not watched any footy.

I like to watch any crappy sport at the Olympics as long as they feature scantily clad nubile young ladies. I particularly enjoy slow-motion replays of them stretching and bending. It doesn't take much of that before I am ready for the vinegar stroke.

Apparently, GB won a bronze in "the trap"
Is that the one where a bloke sits between two wheels behind a pony?
Pony and trap?
Shit competition.

Getting walloped 26-5 just got a try tho (from the welsh girl)

That looks like one tiring sport 7's rugby!
6 a side footy was bad enough I remember but this, with all the hits is just brutal.

Back in the day, when I was young, fit and playing back row in "normal" rugby, my club entered a 7'a competition - I was knackered, it's non-stop.

This may surprise Croesy and his ilk, but I quite enjoy watching the Olympic cycling, certainly not a sport I would normally have any interest in. That's the most enjoyable part of the olympics for me, switching on the TV, to find some random sport that grabs my attention.
