In alphabetical order:

Basketball - Because it's always fun to watch the US completely dominate every other country out there.

Boxing - I love to fight, and I love watching other people fight. Every boxing match I watch it seems like I learn something new.

Football (Soccer) - My mother's British, and I grew up playing and watching football/soccer. Keep hoping England will pull out a Olympic win, so I watch (and torture myself in the process).

Judo - See "Boxing" above. If a fight is going to go to the ground, I want to be sure I know the best way to get there, and what to do afterwards. Plus it's not as boring to watch as Taekwondo.

Shooting - Because guns are awesome. 8)

The U.S. hasn't did much dominating in 8 years. I'll think they'll take Gold this year though.

For me Basketball, Swimming, Track and Field, Soccer and Tennis.

Voted,

Triathlon - I love to do 'em, and the people that can compete in the olympics are really impressive.

Cycling - my first sport.

Taekwondo - I do Karate mostly, but in the last 25 years I have done Capoeira, Karate and Kung Fu, I dig the martial arts.

Judo - I do Karate mostly, but in the last 25 years I have done Capoeira, Karate and Kung Fu, I dig the martial arts.

Boxing - Bruce Lee suggested in the Tao of Jeet Kune Do, that a well trained boxer would defeat a traditional martial arts master.

Where is Marathon? that would replace the boxing for me, as I love running marathons.

Aquatics (I'm assuming this is swimming) cuz we got a decent Norwegian there.
Track and field. particularly the 800 meters, and of course javelin and the pole vault.
Basketball is fun, all though the dream team has not been too dreamy the last couple of olympics.
Boxing is an intense sport, especially the lighter classes.
Soccer because that is where it's at.

That said, I am a sportsaholic, and watch pretty much everything.
