Sports you watch once every 4 years

Sailing's a good shout, mainly because Britannia still does a fairly decent impression of ruling the waves and we normally pick up a few medals.

Modern Penthalon is another. The chances of me watching a minority sport increase exponentially if there's a chance of a GB medal.

Can't get onboard with handball; seems like the result of a drunken one-night stand between association football & basketball.

Table tennis. Legendary sport. Shame its hardly ever televised even in the Olympics...

Haha, agree strongly with the handball love in this thread.

Dad and I used to watch a fair bit of the athletics when the Olympics were on, and would always tune in if we had a Kiwi in the pool.

Was he holding the antenna?

Oi, we won two golds in the pool in Atlanta 12 years ago!

With the same bloke.

Another one I forgot about is synchronised diving.

Awesome.

Oh, and the Canoe/Kayak Slalom. Absolutely insane, but ****ing awesome.

Was just thinking the same thing tbh. Crazy.

There's a doubles event in that slalom tomorrow. Can not believe how that works out.

That I have to see.
