Looking forward to it. Over all, I usually prefer the summer games, but Olympic hockey is the best Olympic sport by far. I eagerly await those games.

Indeed.

I love the Winter Olympics. They are far more interesting than the Summer ones. I'll be sure to catch the skiing and snowboarding stuff (especially the moguls and races), curling (I LOVE that game!), hockey, speed skating, luge (and maybe skeleton), and that speed biking thing (if they brought it back).

Hockey is the only olympic sport I would ever watch on purpose.

Butter · 01-13-2006, 03:37 PM

I like how they do the cable coverage now, so I can actually watch some Olympic events besides figure skating.

biological warrior · 01-13-2006, 03:53 PM

Its figur'e skating all the way. The only sport that makes the games bearable.

Senator · 01-13-2006, 03:57 PM

I always enjoy watching things where someone has dedicated their lives to achieving a goal.

Celeval · 01-13-2006, 03:57 PM

Absolutely looking forward to it.

JonInMiddleGA · 01-13-2006, 04:01 PM

I'll probably watch bits & pieces of the hockey, catch the occasional highlight of a US medal performance, etc. but otherwise this is pretty much a snorer for me.

I'm scared now.

MacroGuru · 01-13-2006, 04:07 PM

I don't know why, but for some reason, I am pretty excited this year for them.

When they were here in 02, I am kicking myself in the ass, I did not attend one event, or anything.

I am into watching Hockey, Ski Jumping, Skiing. and Biatholon.

So, I will be on the road, but I will be watching as much as I can.

Ditto.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Italian ski bunnies hanging out at all of the venues. God I miss Italy.

gstelmack · 01-13-2006, 04:12 PM

Looking forward to simulcast HD this year, unlike the 24-hour delay for the Summer games that made the HD broadcasts useless...

HD makes everything better!

sovereignstar · 01-13-2006, 05:37 PM

Love the Winter Olympics. Any kind of skiing and short track speed skating. Go Apollo Anton Ohno!

Not only that, but this should be a great warm-up for the Baseball Classic in March, since Spring Training sucks anyway and those of us who like to attend games in Central Florida can save the gas money.

Really, the Olympics can't start soon enough.

CraigSca · 01-13-2006, 08:16 PM

I used to like hockey, before they let the pros in. I still do like to watch the figure skating, but only to see the occasional fall.
