Olympics!

[melaniej]

Hi everyone,

I have to say, I'm getting so excited about the Olympics. I know that a lot of people don't particularly like them. I'm not sure what it is about the Olympics, but winter or summer, I LOVE them! It's makes me very happy that at least I work in an industry where I can talk about them and sports all the time.

Out of curiosity, what event are you looking foward to the most?

After World Cup and the Euro Championships comes both the summer and winter Olympics for me.

Events that I am looking forward to:

Boxing
Cycling: BMX , mountain, track, and road
Diving
Judo
Rowing
Shooting
Swimming
Table Tennis
Tennis
Volleyball
Weightlifting and wrestling

As an Australian, the swimming is my greatest priority, but I love all track and field, and gymnastics as well.

I watched a great deal of the Olympic trials over the past couple months and I am very excited as well. If it weren't in China I would consider going for a week just for the experience.

I am a big fan of track & field and then swimming as well.

Track & Field, Gymnastics and Swimming!

And diving, since Montreal has some excellent contenders

I'm hoping they show some badminton on tv here in Ottawa.

Speaking of the Olympics, do any online sportsbooks accept bets on them?

[CoolDog]

Yeah, and WillHill has China as favorite to win most gold medals.

It looks like lots of sportsbooks will. I know Lasseters and Unibet are taking bets and have banners for affiliates as well. It's not quite the betting event that the start of European football season is, but the Olympics does have a lot of hype.

Plus, this could be a chance for affiliates to target organic traffic searching for Olympics keywords.
