What summer Olympic sport to you enjoy watching the most?

I love watching gymnastics (both regular and rhythmic). I also enjoy diving and synchronized swimming.

Gymnastics (not a fan of rhythmic though), swimming & diving and the shorter track races.

My daughter is a competitive gymnast so we are big gymnastic fans. I like swimming and diving, too. And will watch the other sports if I have to

Fencing! Rooting for Miles Chamley-Watson, foil fencer and super, super young man.

Diving! Those divers are amazing athletes.

Rhythmic gymnastics is my favorite event. I'm not as into the Olympics as I used to be, though.

I like gymnastics but I'm into Track and Field this year. I read a blog regularly called RV Goddess. This woman and her husband travel in a gorgeous motorhome and she writes a great blog which has a heavy focus on cooking gourmet meals in an RV. Anyway...her husband was a star athlete and was on the same track team as Steve Prefontaine. Her husband was in charge of the US trials this year so she has been talking about a lot of the athletes and events in her blog.

I wasn't very interested at first but now I feel like I personally know a lot of the runners. We watched the US trials last week and I was surprised at how many of the runners I recognized. It was pretty cool. I was saying "Oh that's..." or "that guy's Dad is the coach at AU..." and my husband was saying "How do you know all this stuff?" I think that's going to make the Olympics really fun this year. I feel like I have people to root for.

Gymnastics is my only must see event. I enjoy the diving but I do not go out of my way to see it.

I like watching gymnastics also. I don't know if any event is a must-see for me, but that would be the closest to one.
