Nothing much wrong with swimming in theory...

 

But given how much it is based around just a couple of powerhouse nations (and not to mention FINA's poor governance), I am surprised how it still wins this poll in a landslide...

Swimming by a country mile  

 

I do like platform diving as well. I find rowing a bit hard to follow sometimes, I always mix up all the different classes and it's not made easier with the main focus always being on nations instead of athletes  

 

The thing I don't like about swimming is the insane amount of events, the similarity between a lot of events and the consequence of that: athletes who will obviously win more medals than in other sports, followed by media designating them "greatest Olympians ever" because of the medal counts. I'd like it much more if there was one breaststroke champion, one backstroke champion and so on.
