I was talking Summer, but I guess that means I should have been talking Winter huh? :goofy:

In that case, downhill skiing.

Well, I guess since the Winter ones are 2 weeks away we will go with winter, but you can answer whatever way you wish.

I prefer the summer, but I watch both.

I love the Olympics. For the Winter one the sports I enjoy most are the bobsleigh,ski jump and luge, but I'll also be keeping an eye out for the British ladies curling team who won gold last time round.

I've tried to care about figure skating over the years but the subjectivity of the judging has made me pretty much write it off (along with gymnastics.)

I don't watch much of the Olympics, but the hockey, speed skating, and skiing can be interesting.

Winter olympics-figure skating, any kind of skiing (including snow boarding), the long jump....where they go down that steep hill and jump off the end. Speed skating.

Summer- diving, track, high jump.

At least the winter olympics will help ease the drag of the off-season....

It's sad that Amercian idiots would rather watch "Skating with the Stars" than real skating in the Olympics.
