Just a bit. I'd watch the opening and closing ceremonies if time allows. And monitor the medal scores everyday on the newspaper. But that's about it.

Try it, you'll understand :)
I have tried it. I realised I was sliding down a mountain on a long flat thing, and that was the end of that.

Aah, I get it. It is one of the sports you can't learn overnight, so you gave up ;) I've been skiing since I was three years old. When I was four, I broke my leg on those long flat things :D
 
The Summer Olympics is more exciting, IMHO. When I think of the Summer Olympics, I think of judo, fencing, soccer, and the marathon. When I think of the Winter Olympics I think of curling, skiing, curling, and more skiing. The movements of the skiiers are enough to hypnotize you, perhaps that is why they want people to watch the Winter Olympics.

Well, I like the Winter Olympics more. Especially because of the Ice Hockey, but skiing and other sports are also interesting.

Well that makes sense, youve been skiing almost as long as youve been walking.

Speaking of walking, thats pretty weird too, but I digress:crazyeye:

That is because you have been hypnotized to believe so. :p :D
 
I find some events fairly entertaining but it isn't as if I'll be bending over backwards to watch as much as I can.. I do enjoy any sports that are nation vs. nation though.
 
I watch only the Superbowl, NCAA tournament and world series. The Olympic is about politics and sports only losers watch.
 
about politics? how so?

and I'll refrain from replying to the second sentace, as it deserves no reply :p
 
It does my tits in, all it does it ruin TV for a few weeks...
 
I watch the track events, and maybe a few soccer matches and that's it for the Olympics, but since it is the Winter Olympics I won't be watching
 
I'll watch hockey, and i imagine my girlfriend will make me watch some figure skating, but thats it. I watch the summer games more
 
I'm gonna watch this and that of it, certainly not skiing, hate that sport, since it's shown on tv ALL THE TIME here in winter (despite the fact that the Swiss more or less suck at skiing but excell at snowboarding with countless victories which isn't shown at all - even in the news).

Well, I look forward to the snowboarding, ice hockey, probably curling and and some-other-sports-I-zap-into tournaments. Hockey is really popular in the US, so shouldn't the American members in here not like the olympics for this? ;) (I know, world championship in hockey is fairly often, but still).

i really like the Olympics. i like the Summer Games more, however, 'cause i find the events there more interesting. i'll watch the skiing and some other stuff, but not that much for Winter Games.
 
I also love the Olympics, and will be spending the rest of the day consuming copious amount of Beer and watching 24/7 Canadian coverage. :b:

Takes the mind off of silly Muslim cartoons, wiretapping, and all of the other nonsense of the world.
 
I'll watch a little. I like the stuff when the guys are on skies and they have to shoot things on their way down. Its awesome. I also like bobsled and speed skating. I like speedskating because its fun to watch them wipe out.

I'm pulling for Norway! :D
 
who watches stuff like ski jump and ski and etc anyway?

sounds like it be fun to do but watch?
the only person ive ever known that watches that stuff was a 25 year old virgin...

but then again he also watched tennis and golf and tractor pulling and other crap like that.
