Poll: Are you interested in the Olympic Games?
Sure a big hoopla over the Olympic games.
Do you folks watch it at all??????
Sorry I just can't get interested. I could care less if a blind S. Korean can set a new world record in archery.
Sin N News 7/27
(CNN) -- The first world records of the London 2012 Olympics have been set by a blind South Korean archer -- hours before Friday's much-anticipated
opening ceremony was due to begin.
Im Dong Hyun is legally classified as blind and cannot see out of his right eye, but it did not stop the two-time gold medalist bettering his own
leading 72-arrow score in the qualification competition at Lord's cricket ground in the British capital.
The 26-year-old, who struggles to read a newspaper, scored 699, which put him top of the standings ahead of compatriots Kim Bubmin and Oh Jin Hyek.

Betcha he couldn't hit a buck from a tree stand 20' away.

I don't watch a whole lot of it, but do tend to watch the winter games more than the summer.

Athletics are always great entertainment and there are so many human interest stories involved as well.

Go read the ESPN article about all of the stuff that goes on at the Olympic village. It sounds like a drunken brothel. No wonder some of them do so
poorly.

I'm interested in watching the olympics when I'm not at the lake and there's nothing else on....and when I am into it, Xfinity GOES ON THE BLINK--
literally-- freezing up and pixillating me right into turning the tv off.

The Olympic sports are amazing, and I even sit there and tear up watching these events unfold.

I've noted a problem with your poll. It does not have a "only when Ryan Lochte is shown walking around the swim venue without a shirt on" option.
