And since this is the summer Olympics, you can't say curling

So far I'd have to go with fencing. I was excited for a good match, especially since I haven't seen fencing competition at such a high level, let alone any level really. But I start watching and it's just a quick match with girls shuffling around and then randomly screaming and someone got a point but I couldn't even tell. I think I'd have to be a fencer to actually appreciate the matches.

Well one of your gals just got you your first gold medal, so quit complaining.

Bit of a munter though

Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.

Dang, I was looking forward to seeing some badminton. I thought it'd be pretty badass and people would be crazy good at it, but I guess it's more fun to play than watch.

Honestly, I strongly dislike most of the summer olympics. Baseball and some Basketball is all that really interests me.

Curling is brilliant, what are you talking about!? The most boring has to be sailing...hell, I'd say it's fucking boring even if you're taking part.

Curling's interesting, but it's fucking boring. Unless a streaker runs onto the ice like they did in 2006.

Badminton for the Summer olympics.

Tbh, i don't watch the olympics. I occasionally watch the badminton and running.

It was a shame for the Brazilian at a marathon last time when that dickhead pushed him over so he only got 3rd instead of 1st. He disrupted the British Grand Prix too, i believe.

Also, i watch the tennis.

Everything in the summer Olympics, except for the BMX racing is incredibly boring to watch. Winter Olympics is where it's at, and it's awesomeness rating will skyrocket when they add halfpipe skiing.
