Besides hockey, that is.

Where is cross country skiing? Or Nordic combined (X-C, plus skijumping)?

Both are awesome... did you catch the last 10km of the race in the latter today?

I always liked the luge when I was a kid, and then they brought in skeleton. How can you not like that? Going 70+ MPH down a track of ice with something that barely qualifies as a sled, and doing it all head first! :eek:

It's basically "craziest dude wins." I highly approve.

It's all about Hockey, but if I have to call another it be Snowboarding.

In a toss up between Ski Jumping and Skeleton I went with Jumping. I'm not sure which is crazier, but you won't be seeing me do either.

I can get sucked in by anything in the Winter Olympics, even if I don't care about it the rest of the year or know anything about it (although I don't really care about men's hockey with NHL players). Figure skating announcers really annoy me, but I do like to watch it.

Figure Skating took up almost the entire broadcast last night, or at least the parts I saw. I'm not a big fan of it to be honest, but my wife enjoys watching it.

My favorite is probably the speedskating. I was hoping to see more last night, but I was out of luck. I do think more is supposed to be on tap for tonight's broadcast.

I'm always a fan of the bobsled, luge, and skeleton as well.

For the summer games about the only things I'm interested in is football(soccer) and water polo.

For the winter games, I enjoy every single event. They could have an event of the team fastest to push a 747 up a mountain and I'd follow it.

Winter Games >>>>>>>>> Summer Games

You know what the Summer games really need is Skateboarding, BMX, and Roller Blading. That would get me to watch it.

Curling for me. I like the strategy involved. A Combination of billiards, archery, and shuffleboard, kind of...

Luge and Bobsled would be even better if they can widen the track an allow head-to-head racing!

Convincing everyone that Kelly Clarkson is not that pretty. I would be the best there ever was. :D

Back to the subject. Hockey, curling, CC skiing.

The summer games needs to have inline sport (speed skating and short track), lax, rugby, and hurling.
