I love the Olympics and will watch literally anything. If it’s on, I’m all in. As an ex-eventer, I’ll make sure to catch as many of the equestrian events as possible, and gymnastics and swimming are my other favorites. I love the time change because I’m a super early riser and I’m looking forward to watching whatever is on with my coffee!

I’m not normally a sports watcher, but man I love the Olympics. I’m most looking forward to gymnastics, diving, beach volleyball and track-but I always end up getting caught up in it all.

I am so excited! I usually don’t enjoy watching sports that much, but I love the Olympics. My favorites are gymnastics, swimming and diving. I hope NBC shows adequate coverage because I really don’t want to pay for Peacock. DD and I are excited for the opening ceremony and I’m trying to decide what to make. I’m thinking Greek, French and American-inspired.

I'm so excited. I love the Olympics and especially summer. Gymnastics is obviously a top watch in our house, along with soccer, swimming, diving, track and field. This year we will be watching a lot of women's field hockey as well. But I told my husband I'll have the TV on basically whenever I'm home. The gym I coach at will be streaming the women's team final and women's individual all around during our camp days so that will be fun to watch with people. I'm going to be on the lookout for other watch parties too.

Hello fellow eventer! 😘 I haven’t done it since my 20s and topped out at training level so I’m very much an amateur but I love watching it! My BFF was a professional until recently (she did Rolex, etc. but had to stop due to head injuries) so I used lived vicariously through her but now at least I can watch every 4 years lol. |

There's dozens of us! caer PumpkinwestEventing is too scary for me now that I'm a weenie in my 40s, but I still ride and train jumpers on the side. Hoping Boyd Martin has great rounds and also feeling pretty good about our jumping team. Not sure we can beat the Swedes though - they are really strong! The French have a great jumping team this year, too. |

I keep thinking maaaaybe I’ll try finding a place to take dressage lessons. But I’m old and breakable so I keep going back and forth on it lol. |

I’m so darn excited. Track is huge in our house. We probably won’t miss an event. We also like swimming, gymnastics, rugby, and archery. But honestly I’ll watch just about anything.
Peacock does a ton of women’s basketball games and professional track (diamond league). So we gave in and subscribed about a year ago.

My first and my last horses were both Welsh crosses so I’m a big fan of some pony brain in a mix. I’ll be cheering for the US but I’m with you, I’m also hoping for safe rounds for everyone in all the events. |
