Men's Soccer 5 - sorry to you-know-who ;D
Women's Soccer 4 - The standard is really improving
Pool (billiards, snooker, etc.) 4.5 - much prefer the intricaies of snooker and/or billiards over the simplicity of pool though....

Women's Golf 4

Rugby 4.5 if we are talking Rugby Union, 3 if we are talking Rugby League
Cricket 4 - but then again I was brought up with it
Olympic Sports:
Swimming 3 - okay, but they show every heat of every event where I live and it can seem a tad repetetive....
Gymnastics 4
Diving 4
Ice Skating 3 - once again, I can appreciate the skill involved, but the repetetiveness kicks in
Skiing 4.5 - partly my fascination is because of the climate in which I live
Bobsledding 4 - those dudes are just plain crazy ! ;D
Speed Skating 4
Biking Cycling ? 4.5 - I particularly like the track races where they have the 'criterions' - a number of separate races within a race
Track and Field 3.5 - once again, the repetetiveness is an issue....
