Winter Olympics

I guess I didn't really grasp that they're starting soon.  Anyone excited for them?  I have kind of mixed feelings.  When I was younger I used to follow figure skating, but I've been out of the fanbase for several years and don't know anyone anymore. 

I do enjoy watching the ski jumping, though.

(That might make a good siggy challenge while they're going on: favorite winter olympic sport.)

Re: Winter Olympics

  • I'm super excited.  Mostly because Bob Costas (sp?) is one the most silly announcers EVER.  I listen/watch mostly to hear him say the most rediculous stuff.  I do watch skiing - GO LINDSEY VONN!  She's from my part of the world and is just an amazing athlete.  There always seems to be a scandal or two thrown in for good measure too.
  • You really should get back into figure skating (my fave too). The two girls who just made the US team are really fun to watch. The qualifying programs were on TV last week, so I got to catch up. Yes

  • All I remember about figure skating in the last olympics (... i think it was the last olympics...?  Maybe 8 years ago?) was hating Sasha Cohen.  I mean, she's talented, but she just rubs me the wrong way.  She just seems like a snotty brat.
  • I love watching the opening ceremonies, can you imagine being apart of something like that?  I also like watching some of the winter sports, mostly ice skating and some of the down hill skiing.  While I do like the winter sports, I love me some Summer Olympics!

  • Figure skating...absolutely!

    Ski Jumping...how do you learn to DO that?

    Speed skating...love Apollo and it is just So fast and So close together.

    Curling...cause I'm a giant geek :)

    My baby girl is a married woman...and now my baby girl HAS a baby girl. Time unfolds in such an amazing way. I've been blessed!

    I love curling, too!!!  It's fascinating to me. 

    That being said, I'm not so sure it's a sport.  It's about as much of a sport as billiards or shuffleboard.

    I forgot about those!  I love speed skating and curling is hilarious.

  • I love curling too! My college had a curling team... haha. I also like skeleton and luging. And moguls skiing! Fun.
  • When are they starting?  I've seen commercials, but haven't heard a start date.  I remember the summer olympics were a big deal because they started on 08-08-08, but I haven't seen a start date for this one.

    DH loves curling... who knows why, it's so weird!  I might watch speed skating, but only if I just happen to see it.

    The winter olympics this year just reminds me of the Leno/Coco debaccle on NBC.  ::sigh::  I miss Coco already... :(

  • I am in love with curling. Both Canadian mens and womens teams are from Alberta!! Woot woot, I think the mens have an excellent chance at the gold but the womens I nervous about. Also, if you've ever played it you know it's a sport!

     I also love figure skating, hockey, ski jump and speed skating. I am a much bigger fan of the winter olympics then the summer. One of my friends at work is also working at the olympics. I am so jealous.
