What sports are you watching or want to watch that you wouldn't normally give a c**p about?

Question

I watched batmitton and totally want to see table tennis. I also sat through a waterpolo match.

Other sports I never give a c**p about and want to see:

Archery

Steeplechase

Synchronized Swimming

Rythmic Gymnastics....

....oh and so much more.

Why do we only give a c**p about these sports during the olympics?

Answer 1

I completely agree with you.  I love watching the sports we never get to see year round.  During the winter Olympics I liked watching curling just because I never get to see it (that and it's like a game of jumbo darts on ice).  I'd like to see more attention paid to so many of these sports.  It's evident on Y!A that people get excited about these sports when they get to watch them.  You never see questions like "how do I start fencing?" at any other time.  Although I do worry that if these were year-round televised, the excitement and novelty that the Olympics brings would fade for a lot of people.

Answer 2

I am the exact same! I just sat through a day of water-polo, archery, judo, fencing, weightlifting, boxing, table tennis, badmittion, rowing and diving, and I don't even like/understand half of these sports?

I do it out of Aussie pride though, and it's only once every 4 years so you can be forgiven for wasting 2 weeks of your life watching sports you don't even like.  

Answer 3

I want to watch table tennis. Those people amaze me!  

Answer 4

Lol, me too! Some I have no clue how they play it but I get so into it during the olympics only, lmao. I actually watched a fencing match, I don't even care bout fencing normally.  

Answer 5

I'd like to see the Tennis.

I watch the other gymnastics and the synchro diving.  Rowing too.  And soccer.

I couldn't care less about shooting, archery, pingpong, fencing, equestrian, canoeing, most swimming, and track.

Answer 6

archery and badminton for me :)
