Not sure you're quite comparing like with like there...
Olympics for me is all about the track & field and particularly the 100m. That's pretty much the pinnacle of competitive sport of any form.
Other than that will watch the later round basketball, and accidentally saw some of the women's rugby 7s and it was actually quite good, so might watch the men's too. Remember quite enjoying the Handball during London 2012 too.
There are a lot of ridiculous sports there though, anything that needs to be scored by judges or involves a horse for a start.
