I'm looking forward to the ski jumping.

Those people are crazy!!!

I've always wondered, how does one go about finding out if they are good at that sport or not?{#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Was Yuban, then changed to Plaid Pants due to forum upgrade, and apparently, I'm back to being Yuban.

I've always enjoyed the Winter Olympics but after reading about the corruption of the IOC and how the selection of Sochi was "fixed" and all the problems with security, etc. I've lost all interest. In fact, I've questioned if the Olympics should continue.

I'm not interested in the winter sports showcased at the Olympics. Summer is a different story, though.

I started getting not interested when there was so much drama...even in the Nadia Comaneci days...and Tonya Harding bit. But it was the PROFESSIONAL basketball/hockey players playing for their country in the AMMETER Olympics? I still have yet to wrap my head around that one.

I like the figure skating and skiing.

I will watch other sports too like speed skating, if there is a well known competitor, like Apolo Ohno was.

I don't watch summer sports, but I've always liked winter sports.

I lost interest a long time ago....sometimes I'll catch the highlights and medal count on the nightly news but rarely make the time to sit and watch any of it.
