Personnaly I really like to watch the Kayaking, Water Polo, and Handball.

Of the more traditional sports I really like to watch Women's Softball, Gymnastics, Volleyball, and of course Beach Volleyball...

Anybody know how to get into Handball? I think I might be ok at it....

I'm not much into the Olympics for some reason, and it's for the Winter Olympics, but I enjoy the biathalon. 'Cause shooting and skiing makes sense to me. :no: I enjoy the absurdity. Also why I enjoy curling.
 
Rowing in the summer and the Moguls freestyle skiing in the winter.

I got into handball by enrolling in a handball class when I was a student at ISU
 
Summer: Table Tennis, Badminton, Handball, cycling, triathalon, pretty much anything but rhythmic gymnastics.

Winter: Curling, Luge, Bobsled, well anything, I LOVE the olympics.

I am so ticked this year because I have to travel for 5 days to Europe during the games. I am hoping I at least get to watch a lot of it still.

Is this the handball similar to soccer or the one similar to raquetball?

I know a girl that played on the US National team the last few years but she got started at West Point... I think they play about anything in the acadamies...

We use to play it in PE back in high school and it was awesome! Fun to smoke the freshmen but not on purpose :biglaugh:
 
This may go without saying, with my avatar and all, but I love the game of volleyball, especially beach volleyball, but high school college pro, doesn't matter. Olympic volleyball indoor and out is great to watch. The USA men's team just won the world league, and I believe are ranked #2 in the world, they will be worth checking out!
 
I have such a hard time watching the sports based off of judges scores.

Anything with an actual head to head competition is much better.

Softball, Women's Volleyball, and Basketball for the summer.

It's probably "non-traditional" in the US, but I love to watch country v. country soccer. World Cup, Euro Cup, Olympics.

Those people define what it means to be a fanatic.

Do you mean individual handball? or team handball? We used to play team handball in my gym class in HS. It was really fun. Actually my dorm at ISU had a guy from the Czech Republic who was a great team handball guy.
