Let the Winter Olympic Games begin.


I love to watch figure skating because they have good music, great costumes and amazing athletic ability.

What are your favorite winter Olympic competitions?

I would have to say figure skating too! I love watching it. I realyl don't know why I just do. Just like I actually like to watch cheerleading competitions, yes I know I am weird!

Another figure skating fan. The men do seem to have nice *ahem* posteriors.


I also enjoy the ski jumping and the skiboarding events. But I love watching the opening and closing ceremonies!

I'm all about the skiing competitions and HOCKEY!!! Woohoo!

I use to like figure skating when I was a kid, but I just can't get into it anymore.

I like watching the figure skating, and hopefully there won't be any scandals with the judging this year. I'm really looking forward to watching the Hockey, especially since my NHL team, the Colorado Avalanche, has 11 competitors representing 8 countries in the Olympics (the most of any NHL team).


I wish they would cover the Biathlon more in the US. That's a combination of cross country skiing and shooting. It's huge in some of the European countries, but hardly gets a mention here. Not surprising since the Olympic Shooting Sports get even less coverage in the summer games...

Figure Skating here for sure. Love the skiing and speed skating as well.

When the olympics are on, we pretty much watch them every night and all weekend. My husband is actually going to be off all next week. He has vacation time he needs to use up and decided to use it so he could be home to watch the olympics.

I'm not a big fan, but perhaps ski jumping (they are crazy) and snow boarding (I'm a bit of a skater girl). Everyone here is supposed to love hockey, but I hate, hate, hate it.

Figure skating, by a long way. I'll watch other events if I happen to be in the right place at the right time, but I'll make some effort to see the figure skating.

Were you watching the snowboard-cross just now? I can't believe Lindsey Jacobellis fell at the end! That's what she gets for showing off!
