Women's rugby. :-)
I agree sweetie, a break from lies and discord. It's awesome, my favs. are the floor exercise and the high bar, how do those guys do it!!!
My favorite event...It's a toss up between boxing and ribbon twirling. LOL
Me too Baba! The top 3 American gals are on a Gymnastics team that is supposed to be THE VERY BEST female American Olympic Gymnastics team there ever was! I don't know about the American men's team. I saw a couple of male gymnasts from China
that were beyond amazing! Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday! :)
Ribbon twirling? Boxing is a violent sport Ele. WHY do you like it? Unless you're teasing me. Are you? Is that what the LOL means? You're not serious? Seriously...what is your favorite Olympic event and why? Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday! :)
Men's or both men's and women's floor exercises.? Women don't do the high bar do they?
Gymnastics is my favorite although I really like the diving as well. Thank you for your reply BSurf! :)
Well I took the liberty of assuming that what is true for me is true for everyone StuB. Which is probably inaccurate. I don't know what the ratings are. What I do know is that MSNBC which I watch all the time is covering the Olympics as are other channels. So I am free of anything tainted by Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton because watching the Olympic athletes is ever so much more satisfying and I don't get ticked off! I highly recommend sticking with it and watching it. It is a wonderful respite from the daily grind of sameoldsameoldsameold crap that is all you hear. Repetition and attack is all the pols are dishing out and they are so dull and uninteresting. Not so the Olympic athletes. What is your favorite event and are you following it? Thank you for your response and Happy Tuesday
to thee! :)
Field sports. I want to see Erik get the gold. And yes...I was pulling your chain. I do like boxing though.
Hello Rosie:
I love badminton.. They CRUSH it.
excon
You're kidding right? Geez excon that is the ONLY "sport" I could play at all because the birdie flew so slowly I could get my racquet on it. I wasn't good at it. I was just less lousy at it
but at least I had fun playing in high school! Thank you for your reply! :)
Hahahahahah! That's funnee hunnee!
"Balls it up"? You mean screw it up or something else Lucia? Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday! :)
I did not know that. That's terribly sad. I thought the entire point of the Olympic Games was to celebrate all athletes and be completely apolitical. Sigh. Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I suppose I'm the only one in the world who has never watched an episode of South Park. Don't tell anyone. I don't want to be bashed for it! D/ya ever watch the history channel or Science channel? Every once in a great while Ken Burn does a new historical series. I think they are shown on the history channel although it could be PBS. And there was a nifty series awhile back on the Science Channel with Morgan Freeman as host..."Through the Wormhole". I love quantum physics but have ZERO background in it so the shows made the information I f ind so fascinating accessible. It was really great! Jim watches tennis and golf channels. He isn't a fan of scifi so I sneak those in when he's out and about \playing tennis or golf. 
:) Oh. I love Mariska Hargitay as well as the other actors on SVU. I think it is a cut above the rest . I read once long ago that Jayne Mansfield had a genius IQ! Who knew? She died so tragically. But I digress! :)
Of course. Yes. Well we're pulling for Erik too. When I Googled him I showed Jim his picture and we read a little of his bio. I explained your association with him as a former student. It's really exciting for you I betcha. Did you know at the time he was your student that he also had ambition to be in the Olympics? Anyway thank
s for sharing that. So what's the lure of boxing for you Ele? If you don't mind my asking?
