Events you are most excited about

1. Men's Marathon
- I'm very interested to see how the conditions effect the athletes, I predict they slow the race down a lot and we see a large portion of the field DNF. The possibility that puts on the table is a legit shot for Hall to medal, and that is something I would not have said was possible for any American 4 years ago. I also am very interested to see how Sell does, I think he will surprise people and might go top 15.
2. Men's 800m
- I like the bunch of guys we are sending, but TBQH, I just want to see the Russian vs. The Sudanese runner. The 800m hasn't been good since Seb Coe, this could be the start of it coming back.
3. Men's 100m
- I want to see how Gay does with his injury, and I'm looking forward to how Asafa Handles the big stage. WR posibilities are great too.
4. Men's 400m
- Merrit/Warnier rivalry FTMFW Dominance ITR.
5. Men's Decathlon
- I want to see if Clay can get gold and how Trey does. Trey is a badass TBQH.

Gotta mention Lagat

mmm im probably most excited about the 400.
i can't wait to see what happens.

I'm looking forward to the Marathon, 1500 (just because it's a great race distance) 5000/800 (because you gotta love the distance races) and I'm really looking forward to the 100m final, that's gonna be an amazing race.

100m and 800m. I like the other distance races but there's nothing too special this year.

SWIMMING!!!! and gymnastics. i doubt ill even watch the running events.

1500/5000/marathon

I'm looking forward to the men & women's 5000 + 10000.
also men & women's marathon, 1500, and men's 400.

I love watching the 4x400 and the 4x100, but the women's pole vault will be an amazing duel between Jennifer Stuczynski and Yelena Isenbayeva.

gymnastics (womens team is strong this year!)

Mens and woman's marathon

Seeing Phelps break the Olympic record for most gold medals.

really? i'm kinda hoping he wins, just because he has soo much pressure (because it would be chinas first track gold medalist) and its in his country.. I think it would be sad if he lost.
