I'd much rather watch the creative events than the track events.
Yes, Usain Bolt ran a little bit faster than he's ever done before, but how many replays do we really need to see?
Things like synchronised swimming and diving, parallel bars and any other kind of gymnastic event, where things could go wrong but could go very, very right, are captivating. To me, at least.

changed my mind
ohh you've made me think. I may have to change my stance; I used to think that sports that were fast, strong, jumpy, throwy or endurancey were the 'pure' ones...but I can now see that the creative sports involve all of those skills put together.

Well, glad to be of service.
My rant excludes dressage, obviously. In order to do well in the dressage it seems you need to train a horse, then let it do it's thing while you wear formal dress and cry into your gloves. Tossers.
