The 2016 Rio Olympic Games are in full swing now and already we've seen some highs and lows – some lower than others – for the New Zealand team.

SunLive asked people in the community if they were glued to their television screen watching every second play out, or were they simply not fussed about the quadrennial sporting extravaganza?

The majority of people who SunLive spoke to say ‘yes'. But though they've been following the Olympics where and when they can, most were quick to point out it wasn't dominating their lives.

A couple of people who haven't been watching it on the telly at all admitted they did enjoy watching some of the mishaps and injuries from the Olympics which have been shared to social media platforms like Facebook.

With the inclusion of rugby sevens and golf in this year's Olympics, SunLive also asked people what sports they'd love to see included in future games – with some great responses.
