Is anybody partially interested in this years olympics,
I don't know weather it is the brainwashing about China, or is it that we just suck at getting any medals.
I seem to remember 20 'odd years ago, I was more looking forward to the olympics, but for now, they have zero appeal.

+1 I have no interest due to the hosts regime.

[Fort Jefferson]

No.

And I'm dreading 2012, when we get it. It's going to be an embarassment to London and the UK.

[TheCarpetCleaner]

I don't care about the olympics at all.

[Puggit]

No interest - the UK medal tally will be another embarrassment, and the Chinese are only using the games for propaganda.

Plus it's mostly on during the working day - so I can't watch anyway!

Too busy watching the grass grow

[cqueen]

I find it all incredibly boring. All I ever hear on 5live at the moment is the olympics and cricket!


BOOOOOOOOORING!

[xiphias]

Very interested. Perhaps try ignoring the politics and just concentrate on rooting for your country,

[BlackVanGirl]

I'm enjoying watching the sports, admiring the eye candy and rooting for GB or the underdog - or indeed both as in many sports these are one and the same

I'm disgusted by many of China's politics and whathaveyou but that isn't what the 'limpets is about.

[rich1231]

Really interested and watching loads of it.

[SimonV8ster]

Barely noticed it had started and completely missed the opening ceremony (which apparantly was quite good !! ).

I do want us to do well but can't imagine us doing that well.

Doesn't seem to have been promoted that well by televison/radio ?

[LukeBird]

Not at all bothered

[Athlon]

No interest, it is fast becoming a farce, BMXing FFS, I really can't see that as an Olympic sport.

I too dread the 2012 London games, it will make us look stupid and the costs to us through taxes etc will far outdo any positives the games may have.

Good to see the BBC studio in China has started leeking from the ceiling.

I am watching the cycling and sailing.

[SPR2]

Nice to see sports that normally have very little coverage. What weather there though!

not that i'd try and spoil the enjoyment of those who do, but i dont personally enjoy watching sports, and it feels like a lot of fuss (and money) about nothing

I was having a chuckle at that. The person hiding behind the sofa holding a bucket!

Nope no interest what so ever either & I'm sure someone will be along soon to tell us how wrong we are & why we should take an interest.

[ali_kat]

Am divided, watch it when I think about it, bothered to watch the opening ceremony, like the track, archery, shooting, & water events, but think a lot of stuff has no place in Olypics

We have football, badminton, tennis competitions - why are they here too?

BUT wtf with Volleyball, Softball, Baseball, Baskertball, BMXs being there????
