It's fun to play and a pretty decent work out, but I can't imagine it's much fun to watch.

WTH is Race Walking? I didn't even know that was a sport.

I'm going to go with race walking, sailing, or dressage as my top three. Race walking gets the vote though.

 
Sailing, and archery, well maybe badmitten should be the only ones in the olympics. All the other ones I didn't even know existed.. Race walking wow.. Sounds hard.

Catch a little of the badminton if you can. Not that bad a watch!

I think the archery is fun but only the events where they have to run to each shooting station! I believe it's called the Rambo 2k
 
race walking - 1 foot has to be on the ground at all times

dressage is putting a horse through a routine like floor exercise with out tumbling

 
Race walking, not even close

At least with synchronized swimming you get the chance to see some hot chicks in skin-tight clothing

That's what I was going to say.

The thing about most of the ones listed is that you barely have to see them. Not arguing the responses, but it's kind of like asking which movies are you least excited to see and you list some uninteresting documentary or low-budget film. So my answer is the sports that get shoved down your throat in prime time night after night for a full week: Gymnastics. Figure skating in the winter games. I get excited to sit down and watch the Olympics, and then I see that it's going to be another night of gymnastics. Or diving. I really dislike sports that are judged. Most of the coverage isn't about how amazing the athletes are (they are), but rather nitpicking about little things that did wrong that are going to cost them a tenth of a point.

Ignoring the overexposure, to pick the one I'm absolutely the least interested in is synchronized swimming.

Most excited about? Track & field, mostly the track part (and marathon). Next would be volleyball, beach and court both. I'll watch a lot of the basketball too.

 
Archery is fun to do. It would be mind-numbing to watch. That said, the easy answer is race-walking. How in the world does this become an Olympic sport? What's next, Baseketball?

 
I'll agree with race walking. From what I've heard, one of the biggest skills is figuring out when you aren't being watched, and cheating (not keeping one foot down).

 
I'm gonna go with tennis! Nobody give two square turds when its a major so why would we care now? I don't understand how this even mkes it into the Olympics! Every tournament they play is the best players in the world. What makes the Olympics special? I don't even mind tennis when it's meaningful and being played by a handful of players. Can't get behind tennis as an Olympic sport!
