Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
Today’s question is:
What’s your favorite Summer Olympic event?

No doubt about it–Men’s Swimming! Go Michael Phelps!!!

I wish I could say I’ve been keeping up…but sadly all I see is the medal count on yahoo!
8:22 pm
Gymnastics, but I also love to watch swimming & diving!
8:24 pm
When the Olympics were in LA, I went to go see the Diving and Gymnastics. These have always been my favorite events.
This year, I’ve enjoyed watching Swimming, and cheering on Michael Phelps.

I love the gymnastics. And the diving, swimming and volleyball too.
My question is Olympics related too, but slightly different.
11:30 pm
I would say it would be swimming… Do you know that there is a Special Olympics as well? It’s for special people…Love to watch it
12:36 am
Definitely gymnastics!!!!
12:54 am
Right now, I would have to say the Women’s Beach Volleyball! I never thought I could get into it but it is great to watch!
1:03 am
I would say gymnastics, track & field andswimming events - can’t pick just one!

The only thing I’ve watched is women’s gymnastics, I’m embarrassed to say. To be honest, I keep forgetting the Olympics are on! Too bad, because my kids would like some of the events. I’ll have to try to watch today.
1:24 am
I don’t watch the Olympics usually, but I’m a fan of the equestrian portion if I do turn it on.
1:38 am
I have always loved to watch Synchronized Swimming. Sadly I have not seen it this year. I also enjoy swimming, diving and gymnastics.
2:01 am
Women’s gymnastics, men’s swimming and women’s soccer.
2:14 am
Gymnastics! I was up till nearly 1a.m. watching Nastia Lukin take Gold.
2:36 am
I’m usually all about gymnastics but who can resist watching Michael Phelps swim?
2:43 am
Gymnastics - both mens and womens.
2:47 am
[...] Aloha Friday question (over at Island Life) [...]
2:48 am
Gymnastics and swimming!! Go Nastia!!!
2:53 am
I love Swimming.
2:56 am
I, along with most it seems, favor gymnastics. However, Michael Phelps is surely the overall sweetheart this year. So, swimming would be my choice along with my new favorite, synchronized diving.
3:16 am
I don’t really watch much Olympics but when I do, I prefer those racing against time.
3:35 am
Swimming! Did you watch Michael Phelps last night….wow!!!
3:35 am
Gymnastics but I have to say that I really have enjoyed watching Michael Phelps swim. That man is incredible!
3:39 am
I guess I’d have to say “reading about it on Twitter” as I haven’t watched it this year at all, or ever for that matter… Someday, I swear.
3:43 am
I like gymnastics, but it’s so subjective and I hate that! but I have LOVED watching the swimming this year!
my whole family is getting into it
3:52 am
I love them all-I have never watched so many sports on TV in one day! I am enjoying the swimming-they are amazing athletes!
4:03 am
Wow! This is a hard one! I would have to say swimming this year! I also love mens b-ball, sand v-ball and gymnastics!!!!
4:30 am
Gymnastics!
4:53 am
I’m a HUGE Women’s Gymnastics fan, but it’s so hard for me to watch this year with all the complaints.
5:03 am
Since I was a little girl, I have loved gymnastics. I also like the diving especially the synch. diving. Plus I am into the men’s swimming this year.
5:40 am
Gymnastics! But I’ve been getting “Phelp fever” and I’ve been watching a lot of swimming during these ‘08 games.
5:42 am
I’m a victim of the networks. Each Olympics there is a hot sport/athlete they spotlight and I get caught up in following them like everyone else.
Anyone remember the archery stud from a few years back? He inspired Geena Davis to take up the sport competitively.
Gimme a compelling story and I’ll watch any of the sports.
Everyone have a great weekend!!!
5:53 am
I love gymnastics!!
6:41 am
I have not really watched any …. cant seem to get into it this year.
6:57 am
Mine used to be gymnastics, but now it is swimming because my son is a very good swimmer. We have olymic dreams for him! But he doesn’t have those same dreams. He dreams of football scholarships.
7:07 am
gymnastics
7:56 am
It use to be women’s gymnastics but now I think its mens swimming!
8:36 am
The gymnastics! I especially love watching Rythmic gymnastics.
8:44 am
Swimming, but then it will be Track and Field!
8:46 am
Gymnastics has always been my favorite, but lately, I have really enjoyed the swimming, also. Unfortunately, I have not gotten to see as much as I wanted to this year.
9:47 am
usually I love the gymnastics but seem to be more into swimming this year…not sure maybe its Micheal, maybe I’m feeling WAY older than the gymnasts
who knows
9:54 am
Swimming and diving - Go Michael Phelps
9:55 am
Swimming!!! Go PHELPS!!!! 2nd is soccer.
11:17 am
I am loving it all but gymnastics and diving are my favorites to watch with volleyball quickly becoming a top favorite. I have never been hooked on the Olympics as I am this time around. I have enjoyed relaxing with hubby and watching every night. It’s been a blast.
12:33 pm
I enjoy watching swimming and gymnastics.
12:38 pm
Swimming has been amazing. These people act like fish in the water! The strength of the human form is so beautiful and powerful!
2:41 pm
I don’t have one favorite. I watch a lot of different sports!
3:38 pm
Although I like watching majority of the events (especially swimming and gymnastics), I must say the opening ceremony was the most impressive event I’ve ever seen. It was SPECTACULAR!
4:09 pm
gymnastics is my fav
4:44 pm
The gymnastics portion of the Olympics is always the best as far as I am concerned, always has, always will.
Respectfully,

This year it’s been the swimming & gymnastics. I just loved watching Jonathan Horton & Sasha Artemev do their thing!

Watching the olympics is so nostalgic for me… reminds me of being a kid watching all summer long. I love the swimming and gymnastics the most. Go Phelps! Go Johnson!
