Gymnastics and equestrian are my favourites.

Swimming is an aussie dominant sport and so I don't have much interest in it for some reason. I mean, we already won gold today in some womens relay.

I really don't care for watching sports. But I like the whole process and idea of the olympics, we can all get along.


Did you know, the brain takes about 300ms (miliseconds) to process light from the eyes into a visual representation in are mind. This means that in some sports things happen before there even seen. For example; A person spikes a vollyball, In reality the other player has already returned the ball, but everyone is only still see-ing the ball getting spiked.
Cool (IMO) things like that are why I might watch some of the highlights.

I enjoyed the beekeepers at the start of the opening ceremony.
