Hey everyone! Figured I'd start a thread about what everyone's favorite Olympic even is since the Olympics start today. I have to say my favorite events are bobsled and luge. I heard that some go down luge headfirst, which is called skeleton. Crazy son-of-a-guns to go down headfirst, that's just plain crazy!

Yeah speed-skating is sweet as well, especially short track. One thing I would like to add though, is that since there are people from different parts of the world that read this that, that people refrain from saying anything about what has happened in any events because some countries know the results 12 hrs before people in other parts do. Like the opening ceremony is just being shown here in the U.S.

Thanks,

Opening ceremony is being shown here right now too
If there are folks that follow the above sports heavily then nothing is spoiled ... thats why I never elaborated ...
But you're right, details and such should be kept to a minimum ...

Speed skating is good, bobsled and the downhill skiing(weve got a good team so im hoping for a medal for GB), gonna follow the curling as the team is all Scottish and is also standing a good chance fo a medal). And other than that ill be watching whatever is on when i get the time for television. Should be a good games, Olympics are great.

Tell that to the Canadians and Russians!

[warriorscot]

They are just crazy folks anyway, and the russians seem to play every sport these days for the sake of it, you guys had the downhill sking yet, what a result, that guy as a right jammy bugger to pull that off.

curling is the only event that i watch in the winter olympics...it's the most rediculous thing i've ever seen...yet...you can't NOT watch it...it's awesome...read an article about all the crazy scientific stuff they used to prepare for this year (when i say THEY i mean a specific team..but i can't remember which)...all kinds of electronic brooms and stones and shoes and stuff....really crazy

[Darryl]

Being Canadian, probably hockey. Although bobsled and a few others are cool.

[warriorscot]

Lol, i plan on watching some of the curling as Britain are tipped to win, and its an all scottish team as well.

[dsenette]
