I saw the replay of the relay- amazing!!  
 
Go USA!  Hayfa who are you cheering for?
 
I enjoy all the sports, no real favorites.
 
I liked it back in the day when pro atheletes did not play in the olympic games.

I tend to go for people I like... less about a particular country.. now I was pulling for US relay team as the French were talking "smack"
 
I tend to like the human interest angle.. like Jason Lezak getting redemtion so to speak for not winning in the past. If someone is a "jerk" I tend not to like him.
 
I am not too into the basketball players.. maybe cause I see them all the time. I exercise and do karate so I admire their physical abilities.. Just watching the male gymnists on the still rings is incredible. Diving, any of it..
 
Angel if you can watch the reply you must. It was the 4x100 relay swim... the comeback is incredible. 
 
I pull for obscure people too..

I watched a bit of the horse jumping (sorry can't spell equ......at the moment) I think it was germany that won, i missed it. Horse jumping isn't that bad to watch actually. Actually just checking, yes its germany that won, australia second and britain third. (Equestrian Wink )

Women's soccor, Japan vs Norway, japan won by 5 norway 1.
 
At the moment basketball is on and it between, Australia and Argentina, Argentina is winning Cry
 
that's it from me, going to bed I'm Sleepy
