I'm rooting for New Zealand! My favorite Olympic sport to watch is gymnastics it's amazing what some people can do! Favorite moment so far is Clarissa Eshuis's late strike from a penalty corner keeping the Black Sticks in the running for a medal.

I'm rooting for my home country Australia, and my favourite events are the Equestrian ones, specifically Jumping. I love Jumping, if you've ever been on the back of a horse as it's sailing through the air you will understand the rush.

My favourite sport to watch is probably ice skating. It's something I could never do because my coordination is absolutely atrocious (plus there's no ice skating rinks around....) but it's always amazing to watch :3

I'm rooting for my home country New Zealand, even though I'm fairly certain no New Zealanders are in the ice skating for the Olympics... XD;

My favourite Olympic sport is 3 day eventing, which is an equestrian event. I route for which ever horse and rider combination do the most beautiful runs, Team USA did an impressive job, As well as Team Japan and Team Germany. These horse/rider teams are incredible to watch. One of the Team Japan, Dressage riders is 71 and competing, which is incredible.

All of the individuals and teams in all events have done an amazing jo and it is incredible feat for each of them to make it this far.

What do I like most about the Olympics? The fact that it's won by a team, not an individual, with all individuals contributing to that win. Go team play!!! I love the fluidity of the gymnastics and being from the UK I guess I'm rooting for us but as always the best team should win :)

My favorite Olympic sport is definitely the equestrian stuff, and of course I'm rooting for the US of A. And right now, I have to say that my favorite Olympic Moment is a tie between Michael Phelps breaking the record for most decorated Olympian, and Missy Franklin breaking that record in the 200m backstroke.

I root for the USA, My favorite sport is definitely women's gymnastics. My favorite moment was when Gabby got the gold. Her face is just so expressive and she was so incredibly happy.

I'm rooting for the U.K.! Archery is my favorite sport, but I love watching gymnastics and equestrian. I loved how Elsa Garcia Rodriguez Blancas of Mexico (women's gymnastics) used Zelda music for her routine. :D However, I also really liked the opening ceremony! Mr. Bean and the Queen-Bond moment? I like it a lot!
