The crotchetiness is real. If no one has an interest in actually discussing the games then we should close the thread.
I watched a few 3-on-3 basketball matches so far and they were rather intense. I have watched quite a wide variety of items so far including Judo, Swimming, Beach Volleyball, Taekwondo, etc. I actually prefer some of these to gymnastics. It helps that I have YouTube TV as I have so much content already cloud recorded, there's a lot to choose from.

Rowing, archery, kayaking, cycling so far have been enjoyable

I saw the canoe racing this AM, that was pretty cool. Women's gymnastics tonight. My wife will say she doesn't care. Most of the time that means something will get her emotionally involved and she'll be yelling at the TV for her favorite.
I have seen a couple of compelling performances. In a cycling roadrace, the favorite and the rest of the pack failed to respond when an Austrian woman broke from the pack. Gold for the Austrian, who I believe they said is a mathematics professor. And in swimming a Tunisian man surprised the field and won a gold medal. He'll be a national hero. It's those moments that make it worthwhile.

I watched Badminton.
This is what I watch for.

I like that the cycling finishes with a lap around Fuji Speedway which is kind of cool. If they had allowed fans that would have been a great vantage point to watch the finish.
I've been out-of-state for a few days, and am just now catching up. Many recorded hours to watch, starting with the opening ceremony, then on to cycling.
Does anyone know how I can find a way to view the less popular sports? E.g. I'd like to watch the sailing...

You need cable (USA Network, NBC Sports Channel, CNBC) and streaming (Peacock), plus the NBC website, to see everything. Peacock has replays of many/most things.

During an equestrian event, some of the music for one rider was Muzak Genesis.

Just watching the end of the opening ceremony.
Nice to hear Mike Batt's music accompanying the torch into the stadium, and through the relayed hand-offs. (Mike is a member here, but hasn't logged in for several years.)

Wonder if Bruce Springsteen's daughter will use his music?

My first record was "Remember You're A Womble" when I was six years old. It was a bit of a surprise when he teamed up with Hawkwind some 45 years later.
Nobody watched the US get the bronze in trick skateboarding? Some of those guys wiped out hard on that concrete!

I did not realize those 'boarders wore no protective gear whatsoever. I also did not realize that such an "xtreme" sport could be so boring to watch. The women were no better.Nobody watched the US get the bronze in trick skateboarding? Some of those guys wiped out hard on that concrete!

Just watched U.S.A. beat Ireland in Rugby. I still don't understand all the rules of the game, but those are some tough ass dudes that play that sport.
Diff'rent strokes! Sure beats watching swimming...zzzzzzzzzzz
That's Rugby 7's, not the official game, its normally played with 15 players per side. That's the real game.

I played rugby (not very well) through my high school years. The rules aren't very complicated, and it's a great spectator sport.
Yep. I love Rugby 7s. (Rugby purists would shoot me in my boots for saying that

Simone Biles is OUT from team competition.
I've read where it's a "medical issue," and then I've read that it's not a "physical injury." Regardless, a great loss for the U.S. and fans of the sport. Hope she's okay. I know many were looking forward to seeing her compete.

Why are Russian athletes allowed to compete?
