Re: 2010 Winter Olympics

Couldn't find a thread on the games. So I started one. I love hockey so I will watch that for sure. But I always like to watch curling. Such an odd sport. Edited January 14, 2010 by hawkcub

Curling is legit.

[hawkcub]

Curling is legit.

Never said it wasn't legit. It just seems odd. I do enjoy watching it.

[Garwilly]

America is my favorite team.

Curling is legit.

Best olympic sport in either summer or winter games.

Human interest stories. They tug at the heart and fog the mind

[snoodmonger]

The Olympics blow.

[Roast]

The winter Olympics blow.

 

Fix'd.

 

I enjoy the summer games, but there's not really much in the winter that interests me.

[Andy]

I like the summer Games better, but I'll check out the winter Games too like I always do. That new snowboard cross event has no business being in the Olympics, but damn it's fun.

I like the winter games more for the random events that we don't really see except for once every 4 years.

the ski jump is [expletive] awesome.

[Soul]

Hockey is good. I've always liked watching skiing, whether it's downhill or jumping.

 

I don't enjoy the ice skating.

 

I'll watch. I was just in Vancouver this Summer so it will be kind of neat. Also, there will be good live coverage because it is near our time zone.

[Roast]

Actually, I have to admit, the speed skating is pretty damn cool.

[mul21]

the ski jump is [expletive] awesome.

 

Yes it is. That along with the luge and skeleton are awesome. I also enjoy the short track speed skating. I keep waiting for a wipeout where somebody's hand gets run over and they lose a finger in a bloody mess.

[kujay]

I'm pretty geeked up for the hockey tournament. And I always get sucked into watching the luge and speed skating. The way they televise it, they make it very easy to get into a sport you know nothing about.

[Soul]

That's right. I'll watch the speed skating too for a bit.

 

All in all, I don't enjoy it as much as the Summer games, but there are still some decent components.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

are we home or visitors?

[SouthSideRyan]

Curling and short track speed skating bitches

[erik316wttn]

I'm a total Olympics junkie and will watch every event I can, much to the chagrin of my wife.

 

My favorite event is the ski jump. I'd love to do it if I knew I wouldn't die or break 50 bones.

[Sammys Boombox]

The winter games are ten times better than the summer games.

[hardcorecubfan]

The luge!!! How many of us hasn't gone down a hill on sled on a cold winter day and pretend we were on the luge or bobsled

[chuckywang]

Perhaps rename this thread to "2010 Winter Olympics" for good measure.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I know, right? Who wants to see stuff where people compete based on time or other tangible factors. I'd much rather see a panel of judges score the participants arbitrarily.

 

Basically, if it's not a race or curling, it's a waste of time. Which is like 80% of the Winter games.

But the skaters are so pretty.

That's really not that much different from the Summer Games.
