That sounds legit.

Must confess i have not watched any of the Olympics. Just does nothing for me. Top result for the GB team though.

Blimey, how can you not? There's so much going on surely there must be something you enjoy, even the football?

I must admit we have watched alot mainly as my lads love it and can't get enough. I have enjoyed the competition and have watched and enjoyed lots of sports I would never normally watch so all in for me it's been a great event and very entertaining.

Hopefully it's motivated alot of young people the world over to get involved in sport and have good sportsmanship.

Hard to pinpoint what it is but it just leaves me cold. Just have no interest in it at all. I can honestly say i have watched none of it.

You really missed out with the women's beach volley ball Duke, sure didn't leave me feeling cold

It's once every 4 years....it's 'seldom' enough that I usually find the time to watch at least some of it, and I have to admit I've watched more than I usually do this time around But it does have cycling, which I'm really into, and a few other things.

I kinda enjoy the Winter Olympics more...can relate a bit better to some dude/dudette battling it out with the mountain in the downhill, etc. But there's fewer sports....feckin' ice dancing & what have you...../snore.

The Brits did good. We've come far when you consider how poor we've been in recent years. Wasn't it just the 1 gold in Atlanta?

So, with me being a Dual Citizen and all that....does that mean I get to celebrate the medals of TWO countries combined??

I think it should.

I really enjoyed the womens hockey. Never really watched it before. Watched some of the Golf, boxing and BMX racing too.

The handball thing looked like a shit sport.

Even watched 10mins of Badminton.

I think this was the most of any Olympics I've watched.

Top work from the Paralympics team. 49 gold medal so far with hopefully more to come.

Definitely a good haul.

It IS a shit sport, that's why.

It's big with the gangs, prison crowd, etc. (and no....not the guards...).

2nd in the table and we beat the London 2012 haul.

Well done to everyone involved, very inspiring.
