Favorite Winter Olympic Events?

[Tom Slick]

What events do you look forward to seeing or really enjoy?

Mine:
Any "sliding" (bobsled, luge, skeleton)
Freestyle skiing
Biathlon
Snowboard snowcross
Any speedskating
Ski Jump

[LarryG]

Mine, more or less in order:

1. Curling (No, I am not kidding.)
2. Alpine skiing
3. Short-track speed skating
4. Biathlon
5. Cross-country skiing
6. Long-track speed skating
7. Ski jumping/flying

I don't really care about freestyle skiing, snowboarding, or figure skating. I do watch some of the sliding sports but don't get a lot out of it. And while I was positively glued to the "Do you believe in miracles? YES!" coverage back in 1980, I can't claim to be much of a hockey fan.

My favorite is snowboard cross. After that, the alpine skiing, then short-track speed skating After that I don't watch much else except the hockey.

1. Ladies Figure Skating (DUH!)
2. Couples Figure Skating
3. Ski Jump
4. Curling (yeah , me too)
5. Bobsledding

I really can't seem to get into it this year for some reason.

I pretty much like them all except when it's OK for the men to wear ostrich feathers, or where the style requires the contestants to wear baggy ill fitting snow suits.

Well, this is my favorite part of the Olympics:

That snowboard cross is really fun to watch. LOML is not a big olympics fan, but she loved watching that. I like the luge, ski jump and curling.

[herb fellows]

Yeah, the snowboard cross was pretty cool.

[milanuk]

Biathlon... because it involves gun powder!

[dbhost]

#1. Hockey.
#2. Bobsled
#3. Luge
#4. Biathlon
#5. Snowboarding
#5. Ski * (jump, slalom / etc...)
#6. Curling. Not because I really like the sport, but because it looks like a game that was though up by a couple of drunks at a pub...

[Mr__Bill]

Have to say, Curling, even before seeing the pictures of Madeleine Dupont, then Hockey, Snowboarding and all those sliding down the hill fast enough to fly even if one were on a conveyor belt.

Forget all those that are set to music, speed skating is the only one that is worth watching, hmmm, don't remember music there either.

the glue may set at 50 deg but it's taking forever to do so....

Once I did the reasearch on Curling and uderstood the scoring, I have enjoyed the matches. Any thing on skis or on runners and going fast I like. Hockey Ok, Figure Skating to much politics.
