[Fly_like_a_don 1,002]

Would love to know your thoughts .Also have you ever watched any event in the stadium during the Olympics ?

[EupenM 150]

In Rio, because it's the only Olympics I've ever watched. And then, I just remember watching water polo and handball

athenes, because for me I discovered the Olympic Games and since then I have been a fan!

[Agger 1,601]

London because I saw it live!

[Bohemia 1,266]

London because it's the first (and for now only) time where I could follow almost everything because it was at respectable hours of the day, and also because France did very well that year  I also really enjoyed the ceremonies.

[Laraja 1,437]

Rio for sure,  because I could attend it. 

 

Sydney was my first,  but i cant remember too much haha.

London, because I saw a lot of fantastic sports live. For example the gold medals for Ranomi Kromowidjojo (100 freestyle, swimming) and Epke Zonderland (high bar, gymnastics). 

[Werloc 3,144]

Even though London was pretty epic, since there was a gold from Asadauskaitė and a miracle golden premiere from 15yo Rūta Meilutytė, I still had to vote for 2004 Athens, because it was so absolutely hype.

 

We watched it together with my family, every single discipline in the heptathlon, screamed our lungs out during the final 800 metres and Skujytė finished only behind the legendary Karolina Kluft.

 

Not to mention the fact that Alekna got a gold in the discus throw. 

 

Modern Pentathlon medal was pretty memorable too. 

 

It was also pretty legendary when Lithuania beat United States in basketball group stage.

 

I remember our valient efforts in the women's cycling road race, back in the days when we had legendary and very capable women in the field. 

 

Lots of nice memories.

Beijing, because it's the first time I really followed the Games, although not as actively as I do now. I was aware of Van den Hoogenband in Sydney and Athens, but that's mostly because he is from my hometown. I was too young to really follow it.

 

Hopefully I get to attend Paris 2024 live and make that my absolute favorite!

Then I'll go with you. Like many other Dutch fans, I suppose ...
