Watching? Not watching? Tell us all about it!

I'm not watching it because WINTER SPORTS SUCK, ONLY THE SUMMER OLYMPICS ARE GOOD

sorry I guess I had more pent up emotions here than I thought

I am severely bored by both sports and jingoism.

I like curling (I've been thinking that I might like to try curling myself, it looks like fun and there are a few clubs in my area), and halfpipe.

I can't handle the tension worrying over whether they will fall down, and winter sports are like 90% about not falling down. Figure skaters? They might fall down! Snowboarders? They might fall down! AAAAHHHH!

Yep!

I'm watching some of the highlights in the evening as the time difference means it tricky to watch live, so I've been catching the figure skating and some of the skiing events, oh and also the luge? The one where all the adrenaline junkies throw themselves down a hill on a dinner tray.

Figure skating and snowboarding, mostly. The US has been doing really well at snowboarding (3 gold medals, so far). I am a little annoyed at the sound for the ice skating - I don't know where they put the microphone, but hearing the blades on the ice so loudly can be a little grating. And the interviewer that speaks to them off the ice is irritating me, the questions she asks seem designed to put words in the athletes mouths and are sometimes kind of insulting:
-That was a poor performance for you, wasn't it? How will you try to improve on it?
-Actually, we thought it was a good performance, but were disappointed by the scoring.

And one of the snowboarding announcers said the most ridiculous thing about Shaun White - that he's here to show that his two, back-to-back, Olympic gold medals weren't just a fluke. Yes, he wants a gold after a disappointing 4th in Sochi, but a fluke?

Yes to figure skating!!! I'm not super interested in anything else but won't change the channel if it's curling, just because curling is so baffling and fascinating.

Not watching. I just can't muster up interest for it, even though I usually do tend to favor the Winter Olympics over the Summer.

Yes. My family are huge winter sports fans. Mostly biathlon, sky jumping, figure skating, curling and skiing.

So far I've loved the result of the men's sprint (biathlon) the most. Everyone expected Fourcade and JT Boe to dominate the competitions and then they miss 3 times on the first shooting. Fourcade's comeback was amazing though, the guy is a monster. But I love that the podium was made up completely of surprises (and what an amazing an well-earned win for Peiffer).
