  2. The only sports I genuinely like to watch are all Olympic events and golf! Sometimes I suffer through baseball and football to be near my husband, who would never miss one of those.

  3. I love to watch figure skating, but in recent years I've not watched as much. I love to watch Olympic competitions too, even if I don't watch those same sports during the regular competition years.

    But I love hockey Canadian eh? And football. And winter olympics.

  8. As a horseback rider, I love watching Equestrian sports, especially show jumping, although I also enjoy watching dressage and 3-Day-Eventing.

    The Olympics are always enjoyable to watch, but I find soccer/football rather boring.

    Happy T13. :)

  10. There is only one sport that I actually like watching, but it's not on your list...hockey. It's the only one that can keep my interest. I've been know to jump off of the couch when someone scores a goal. LOL
    Happy TT

  16. Cool sports list. Can't say I have ever watched darts, played yes, not watched.

    Do you participate in any sports too?

    ReplyDelete
  17. As I'm not a sports fan, I can't relate, but some of those sound like I could probably watch them, maybe.

    ;)

    Happy TT and thanks for stopping by!

  18. Im not a big sports fan, but I do love watching my daughter play soccer. And watching skating. lol

    ReplyDelete
  19. Wow! That's a lot of sports to watch. I used to watch football a lot growing up (that's American football, I guess, as opposed to soccer)but I got very burned out on it.

    Happy TT!

  23. Thanks for visiting my site, Tink. You are absolutely right I should have the Netherlands on my list. My fourth graders have been learning all about the Dutch colonies in North America in the 1600s this week.

    Come visit again sometime over at History Is Elementary. You never know what you might find there.

  24. I love to watch the rally's as well, but we rarely get them anymore. It used to be on speed, but I haven't seen them in a while.

    Happy TT!

  25. The only time I really like to watch sports is with a group of friends. Otherwise I'll ususally skip them. Interesting list though.

  26. OMG, when the World Cup comes around, and since I have no real country to follow in my ethnic background, Ive always been a fan of Holland. At first it was just the orange. Only world cup Tshirt from last year, VanNistelrooy.

    I dont get darts though
