What 2012 Summer Olympic sport are you excited about watching?

Jul 11, 2012 12:34 PM

So the 2012 Olympics are a couple of weeks away. Athletes are starting to make their way to London. I personally can't find any summer sports that intrigue me, but I am sure once it starts and there is some drama, I will get mildly interested. Are you excited about the Olympics? What sport will gain most of your attention?

@dmaz: You beat me to it. One night at work during the last olympics I got a call from my roommates to turn on the Olympics and there was Speed Walking, and my life has never been the same since.

They are introducing women's boxing this year as a test event which might be interesting.

Pole vaulting is always fun and I used to do it, but any of them are good. The Olympics are cool because it's something different to watch and they are on for a long time.

I just enjoy the Olympics all together. Swimming seems to always draw me in though.

Although I am not into it right now, when it starts I will get into the Olympic spirit, my wife on the other hand says her favorite part will be the closing ceremonies.

Women's Beach Volleyball will probably catch my attention.

Anyone know if the Olympics will be on Roku ?

Maybe thru Play-on ?

Trying to decide when to drop Cablevision, don't really want to keep it just for the Olympics unless I have to.

Both marksmanship categories (archery and shooting) appeal to me. I'd also throw in Modern Pentathlon because ohmygoshthatsoundssoawesome.

Not as excited about most other sports. I might watch field hockey so as to stave off the drought that occurs between the awarding of the Stanley Cup and the beginning of the preseason. Kinda like substituting beef stew meat for venison steaks.

Really? No one's saying men's basketball? This USA team looks like they're going to demolish everyone else.

Most of them. I am a huge fan of the Olympics! I still remember being a little boy watching the Olympic torch running through my town on it's way to Los Angeles (1984)

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
