Official 2010 Winter Olympics Thread

Yes, I know there's already a hockey thread, but there are other events. So what are you guys actually watching?

I noticed they were actually showing the biathlon today. Pretty interesting, as usual. I always look forward to the downhill skiing and bobsled/luge/toboggan stuff, and hockey. Olympic hockey is one of the best sports in the world.

Also, am I the only one who thinks that short track speed skating is one of the dirtiest sports in the world (with regard to sportsmanship)?

i don't really watch much...but i enjoy watching the speed skating, the snowboard events, and the skeleton is kind of cool.

my gf might make me watch figure skating.

i'm pretty much all about the hockey.

i don't think short track is dirty, i think much of the contact is due to speed and the close proximity of the racers. Sometimes people do make dirty contact, but it is in the minority and the penalties for doing that are pretty steep.

down with korea, go canada
