Winter Olympics

[maddjack]

So any intrest in the winter Olympic games ?  I personally like the winter games and will watch some ,I enjoy the Hockey,Luge,bobsled,Ski jumping, Down hill skiing. What about you?

[JReazor]

Yep, I'll watch every night during the games. I especially enjoy hockey, all types of skiing and short track speed skating.

Anything that involves sliding downhill great, but forget about anything on flat ice, you can keep hockey, curling, figure skating, ice dance etc.

I saw some of the Albertville games live (freestyle and men's downhill) and was in Val d'Isere during the world championships last year but have to say it's one of those sports better watched on TV.

I'm surprised that the "Olympics are Evil" contingent hasn't made an appearance yet.

I'm very much a winter sports kind of person,  so I'm dying to see all the skiing & snowboarding I can.   Not the cross country so much, but ski jumping is CRAZY!   How about Luge?  90mph on your back,  REALLY  ZOMG!!!!!

[Blunder]

Franz Klammer anyone?

Figure skating.

About the only thing I don't watch.

I love any of the sports that involve speed -- downhill and slalom, speed skating, bobsled, luge. The freestyle stuff is pretty neat. I don't follow the NHL, but I'll watch Olympic hockey.

Some hockey, skiing events, luge/bobsled, speed skating, and the wife will want to watch figure skating, any rifle event they broadcast.  I guess that's most of them.

I do think they should eliminate anything "judged" though.

[Tar Snake]

Now that I have a nice HDTV, yes   most of it as time permits. The only winter sport I've ever really done (recreationally) is skiing so giant slalom, ski-jumping   must sees.

[RRdvark]

Hockey for sure - every game I can see.  Bobsled, any of the fast skiing events (giant slalom or downhill?), maybe speed skating if I'm stationary when they are on the telly.  Figure skating, snowboard - I'd rather sleep.

[Tar Snake]

Figure skating, snowboard - I'd rather sleep.

If you start watching figure skating; although not the part wear they do the actual "figures" like 8's or circles; I don't think they really televise that anyway, but the dancing it's easy to get into.

I just admire what they can do on skates and a big sheet of ice! a skater's sense of balance and timing are so high developed it's fun to watch.

Figure skating.  

Oh you have to be freaking kidding me! I mean really!
Can you get any more gay then figure skating?
Even the guys from the two man luge look at those pansies and giggle while drinking their bottled water!

I thought you'd really be into the girl's skating backwards and their little skirt blows up? That's got Shah written all over it!

[Blunder]

The wife and I get all cuddly during the figure skating events.

Actually I'm a huge speed skate / short track guy. And the girls who run Luge and Skeleton really are amazing.
Girls figure skating just exemplifies every thing I hate and detest. Which for me is "DRAMA!"
Your average figure skating viewer is a chubby soccer mom who hasn't seen her feet since the day she said I do and began her quest to pack on enough pounds so as to survive the next ice age.
Thanks but no thanks! Sure the girls are kind of cute but I'm sorry "DRAMA" queens...just not for me!
Give me a girl with long strong legs and a desire to fly around a track with what are Katana's strapped to her feet!
