  • Has anyone been paying attention to the Winter Games?

    This topic is a departure from basketball. Since the Winter Games have started, I've been finding it hard to follow the competitions. I've always preferred the Summer Olympics over Winter, but my interest is especially low this time around. Other than the men's ice hockey, snowboarding and bobsleding, I don't really have an interest in watching anything else.

    Yes. Hockey, curling, speedskating, and bobsledding for me. For some reason I find the alpine skiing events boring but the nordic ones are pretty good.

      I follow Hockey, speed skating, and a few of the snowboarding events but that's about it.

      Yesterday with Von, White, and Davis was awesome. But tonight's figure skating so I won't be watching.

          i just watched Curling event the other day. Despite it not being a sport, i think the ladies were beautiful (obviously, i wasn't watching the "curling" part of the sport just the players)
          If there is no basketball in heaven, i am NOT going.

            The only winter sport that I can actually sit down and watch it in its entirety is the Biathlon.
            I just think it's uniqueness is what draws me to watch it.

              Ski jumping and hockey for me... But, time table is problem because of huge gap between time zones. I only watched (6am here) Czech Republic vs Slovakia, great game, Jaromir is legend!

              Sometimes I even love to watch figure skating when I catch it on TV.

                I turned on the TV and watched the Olympics a little. Truthfully, I don't like any of the winter sports that much. The problem with the Winter Olympics is that in almost every sport, you just watch a bunch of people compete individually, and then at the end, they announce who had the best score. I wish they would have the ski people race together or something.

                I also dislike the style point sports, like figure skating and snowboarding.

                I would love hockey, I think, but I didn't grow up with it and I can never see where the puck is.
                "I really like the attitudes of eagles. They never give up. When they grab a fish or something else, they never let it go. It doesn't matter. In a book, they write they find a skeleton of [an] eagle and there is no fish. It means that the fish beat him and killed him, but he didn't let go." -- Donatas Motiejunas

                            Hockey, Speed Skating and the 3 sledding sports (bobsled, luge and skeleton) are my favourites. Curling is on the other side, absolutely boring...

                              Very interesting match between Russia and Czech Republic... Beautiful goal by Malkin. Result is at the moment 3-1 for Russia, which have maybe the best team, beside Canada. Maybe it's time for them to do something significant.

                              Edit:
                              Match finished, 4-2 for Russia... Czechs made an effort in the last couple of minutes and made the game very interesting, could even tie in the end, but Datsyuk sealed the victory for Russia with an empty-netter in the last seconds.
