Hard to say because there are just too many events. The entire spectacle and prestige of the contests themselves amplifies the importance of event, so everything has some sort of tension involved.

It would be easier to discuss what should be excluded, but that's another argument altogether.

I find it hard to get excited because knowing that the UK are going to get trashed is depressing.

I'm a big fan of the following:

Womens Swimming
Womens Volleyball
Womens Gymnastics

Pretty much anything with a Womens in front of it.

- Volleyball (both indoor and beach, but especially indoor)
- Football (no, the one you actually play with your feet)
- Wrestling (both freestyle and Greco-Roman)
- Gymnastics (including rhythmic gymnastics)
- Swimming
- Track and Field
- Fencing (but Americans, by and large, don't do well in this event, so they never show it
- Sculling is cool as well...them kids is strong!

Hey, I see it like this........... As long as we don't have to see Janet Jackson's ugly t***ies at any of the events, it's all good.

Olympic Weightlifting!!!!

Cannot WAIT to see Shane Hammon clean and jerk 520 + to bring the US a GOLD...

The dude is a BEAST!!!

Yeah, weightlifting is fun to watch 'cause it seems like every year some guy comes in from some little village in Albania or somewhere like that and just catches on fire. I like seeing stuff like that.
