Think this is the first ever Olympics I haven't watched a minute of. Don't know why, I normally am glued to them.

Wasn't really bothered in the build up but now it's started really enjoying all the various sports.

I’m a bit like that, although I have seen a few bits.

I’m putting it down to the time difference, i.e I’m usually out and about during the day, and that is when it is on.

So today I decided that it was no good paying so little attention to the Olympics and decided to tune in and watch some of the proceedings and took in Shooting :shock: :wtf:

There is NOTHING to see! Some men and women with guns pointing them into the distance. That is It! The commentator tells you that a target has been hit but you have to take their word for it that a puff of pink smoke is a hit.....

Watching the leaves come off a tree in the breeze is more exciting........

Cant say shooting would be my choice to watch, clearly not for spectators but still has its skills.
Plenty of sports are a great watch though, can only imagine how much work competitors put in just to qualify as never played anything above local level.

Don't get me wrong. I am full of admiration for the dedication, skill, talent and ability of ALL the competitors. My point was that some of these things are a good spectator sport whereas others are not. I'll pick better next time :D
