I'll probably watch some volleyball as we (Poland) might have a shot at gold.

I picked tennis, swimming, and track & field.

But really I'll watch just about anything at a given time. Those are my favorites in that order though - after basketball.

Track and field for me. The most exciting 10 seconds in sports (100m)

Ok that's cool.

You can't replicate that in a stadium.

Love how the city itself is the platform and showpiece.
