How many of you have been watching the Olympics as a way to keep your mind off your pain. I have been watching, and I have to say it helps me to keep my mind off some pain,…not completely..but it has helped, as it has been rather entertaining.

Let us know if you have been keeping an eye on it the last two weeks!

Not big on Olympic stuff, do prefer the Winter sports to the summer sports. I watched, at most this time around, an hour or less of coverage. Think it was the Women's Beach Volleyball.

I am more of an NFL kind of guy, looking forward to the start of the new season.

Didn't get a chance to look at it this year. Only saw one or two events.

However, I did get a glimpse at the closing ceremony today. I really enjoyed the entertainment.

I am watching it and have watched every day since it started. It does help relax me because I normally don't watch much TV. I have a 2 year old son who keeps me pretty busy.

My favorite is the gymnastics. I would kill for those girls legs! Haha

We don't have cable, and usually I'm grateful for that. But I would have enjoyed watching some. I did, though, catch some highlights online.

Yes, I watched it and enjoyed it. It passed the time until I can weight bear again, only one more week to go!

But then again for the first time in my lifetime the Olympics were in the UK and oddly enough the UK did reasonably well!!!!!

I didn't watch them, but tried my best to keep up on the news. How did USA do as far as gold, silver, and bronze?

Take care.

love and hugs

Not big into the Summer Olympics but do enjoy watching a lot of the Winter Olympics. I did see some Volleyball, Water Polo, Swimming, and Floor Exercises.

I caught some of it, the female gymnastics, I am sooo glad i didn't miss that!! The guys and ladies swimming, go Micheal Phelps! i saw some other stuff here and there, water volleyball, men's, 2-person volleyball, women's and that's about it. I don't know the medal count and don't really care that's not what it's about for me. I am glad the UK did well(I live in the USA)since it was hosted by their country. I will watch some of the Winter Games too, my son loves the redhead with the snowboard. We watched him when he won the gold the first time the sport was in the Olympics, pretty amazing stuff I have to say. I'm not crazy about skiing but the ice skating is always Awesome and we like the speed skater too. :-) :-) : yeah
