I like the Olympics, it's only every 4 years, some pretty cool sports and since I ran track in high school I always loved to watch sprinting.

One note about the boxing: I seriously question anyone who watched it and doesn't think that it was corrupt and fixed with the way points were scored. On several occasions, a guy would score a point without throwing a punch, including a few American fighters and an Irish fighter to a hometown Chinese boxer. The judging and work by the refs was horrible, I couldn't watch it anymore.

explains why there has been no world title from an Olympic medalist since when, de la Hoya?
