Agree pretty much completely.
So far I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the games. Some more than others obviously but some much more than I thought I would. Anything horsey I can't really be arsed with. Not a fuck has ever been given by me towards Zara Philips and the rest of them. I've always enjoyed watching gymnastics and have a huge amount of respect for the athletes because of how difficult some of those events must be. Swimming, Rowing and Cycling are some events that to my surprise I've thoroughly enjoyed watching. The women's road race was absolutely gripping. I was watching it with my Dad who obviously wanted the Dutch lassie to win and the 3 leaders made it an amazing spectacle.
Other sports such as Hockey, Volleyball and Handball I've also really enjoyed watching as I expected I would. I don't see what the problem is with only watching them every 4 years. If they were on more regularly I might watch them more but at the end of the day the Olympic games is the pinnacle for sports like this. With football that's not really the case so they should probably get Olympic Football tae fuck.
