[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 493548, member: 13739"] There are some boring sports in the Olympics true, but there's plenty to enjoy. My favourite are still the athletics, and in particular the 5,000 and 10,000, because you never know how a race will unfold. Having Mo Fara (love this bloke, possibly one the of the most infectiously nice sportsmen there is) to watch just makes things even more exciting, although it's never disappointed with athletes like Bekele, Gebrselassie, and Kemboi to watch. I used to love watching Gebrselassie in particular when I was younger, another awesomely nice chap. The mix between tactics and sheer talent is always exciting, and the wide mix of styles helps make every race different, with the endurance guys trying to run the kick out of the quick men. I always sit in amazement of the finish some of these guys can muster after an already gruelling race. I've never been the biggest fan of the 100m, although Bolt has helped to make things more exciting. It's just over too quickly for my liking. 400 and 800 are always interesting. Not a fan of the really long distance stuff, and not hugely keen on the field stuff with the exception of the triple jump (lack of quality British contestants doesn't help here). [/QUOTE]
