Synchronized swimming, rhythmic gymnastics, race walking, some of the track events, marathon, weightlifting, tennis (yes, tennis - there's a Grand Slam every year, so why bother with pro olympic tennis). I want to like dressage, but I just can't.
I do love that the Internet allows me to watch fencing, which was never available on broadcast tv.

Where do you find the Olympics feed on TV? I can only find NBC's official site, and they want me to use my payTV credentials. We don't have cable. Only rabbit ears.

OK, but y'all better admit you're watching Women's floor exercise right now. Aren't you!

WT - you have broadcast NBC channel in Boston, right? Do you have fast internet? If so, you shouldn't need any credentials at the NBC site. If, that is, you're watching old events. I find that same-day internet streams are blocked unless you log in/register, but the out-of-date events stream up with no login required. For me, anyway. YMMV.

I'll try it out. I did try to find some same-day content. I think I understand the issue. Thanks!

I pass on handball, water polo, beach volleyball, anything with horses (or any animal for that matter). Soccer, much like basketball, I only watch when it's sort of "playoffs" stage.
Apart from those I pretty much enjoy watching all, especially since I can only watch a lot of them every four years.

Women's boxing.. LOL .. can't wait for Basketball! I bet NBC is taking a hit on this contract so far.. If you are a swimmer, you may disagree.. so far it has been like watching paint dry..

Comcast provides online access to pretty much all the events. I grew up in England and participated in both horse jumping & fencing as a kid, so my favs are dressage, jumping and fencing. I tried to watch soccer, basketball and beach volleyball, but just couldn't do it.

Beach Volley Ball is probably the silliest sport but I'm going to give it a pass mark because of the cute girls in bikinis (and you people forcing some teams to cover up need to realize that the brief costumes are the only appeal this sport has) :)

As I understand there is a dress code in beach volleyball, the girls have to wear bikinis.
