I kept watching, but the amount of watching dwindled a LOT!

No. I kept watching. Usain Bolt is just as phenominal on the track as Phelps was in the water. Simply AMAZING to watch how the guy outdistances people, and that 4x100 relay final tonight was simply incredible.

the women's beach volleyball was great to watch, with them being the ONLY team to have ever repeated.

I REALLY wish I'd had time and access to wee the sheer DOMINANCE of the USA men's basketball team thus far....and, unfortunately, I have to work Sunday evening....

Ditto. Phelps was amazing. Nothing can really top that for me.

No way! I love the Olympics and especially Track and Field. Swimming is O.K. and Phelps is great, but I'm still watching it. It's not over yet, and when the Olympics are over I always feel hollow for a few days afterwards.

Kept watching but boy, the Americans track and field team is about to be dismantled when they get home.

They do have some things to iron out.

Bad coaching is key. The relays were fiascos.

I love watching the olympics, it's a tradition for me. I remember watching when our the 1980 hockey team had there miracle team! I remember Louganis hitting his head and still coming back to win gold. I remember the battle of the brians. So many great olympic moments and i can say i remember watching that. It's also a fun way to learn about other countries and traditions. If Chicago wins the bid for 2012 i WILL go there for some event!

There is something pretty special about seeing these people from all these different countries competing together but it's even more special to see them hanging out together in between just being friends. yes, their are rivalries, and political fiascos, but all in all it's such a good thing and it feels good to be a part of it even as spectator.

Me too! Lake Placid was my first Olympic memory and I was enthralled by the speed skaters.

I happened to catch the racewalking, saw the hideous pollution there and how depressing that was to think of athletes of this caliber working in that mess.

Voted the 3rd "never started watching" option.

Kudos to Brian Clay for winning the Decathlon. The sprinters get all the glory but the Decathletes are the real studs.
