    The track and field finals are quality. Packed stadium and events taking place here there and * everywhere. I'd love to go to that.

    Boxing, tennis, the athletics (not the long distance stuff, though) and the football.

    100 metres sprint is the ultimate for me, to be classed as the fastest human being on the planet must be absolutely amazing. Used to love watching Micheal Johnson in the 200 and 400 as well, only man in history to win both in the same olympics!

    The kirin in the cycling is weirdly addictive. It's where all the cyclists follow a guy on a motorbike round the track who speeds up faster and faster until with a couple of laps to go he disappears and the cyclist hammer it. There are lots of crashes.

    Boxing and beach volleyball as well.

    I bet the Boxing Finals night is a good gig, and I enjoy watching the super heavy weightlifting events.

    Cycling is always good as well

    I quite like the athletics, the running. It's a very simple form of sporting contest - first over the line wins. For similar reasons I quite like watching the gymnastics. The gymnasts truly are athletes. It is incredible what they can do with their body. I think it is a very pure kind of sport and truly rooted in the Olympian ideal. There's an artistic side to it I suppose.
