What's your favorite Winter Olympic sport?

[YOCOACH]

So, with the Winter Olympic opening ceremonies happening this evening and rdbass's cheeky post, I thought I'd throw out there this question: What's your favorite Winter Olympic sport?

I'll start by saying that mine, believe it or not, is Curling. I feel it takes skill as well as strategy just like a softball game. I also enjoy the ski jumping because of the technique and athleticism involved. Plus it's cool to see someone jump a football field on skis...even if it is sloped downhill..lol

Anything where the announcers just announce the sport and don't spin off into painfull waistes of time learning about Ice skater Jimmie's disabled 2nd cousin...... The excess human interest stuff makes me run for the remote.....

Now that's funny! True, but none the less funny!

Skiing - all of it (nordic and alpine).

I love all the Olympics to begin with...but for winter, the order of events I look forward to watching are..

Ski Jumping
Downhill
Giant Slalom
4-Man Bobsled
Speed Skating
biathlon

You need to be a little nuts to ski down this!

Snowboard cross. The craziest sport I have ever seen

I like some of the human interest stories, but some I can do without - the Olympic Mom stories are making me feel inadequate. In a moment of weakness I asked DS if we were doing enough to further his obvious passion for Minecraft, ha ha.

Ski jumping -talk about an adrenaline rush. I did 20m baby hill jumping in HS and even that was scary - standing on top of the jump all you see beyond the end of the ramp is the flat run out area where you envision your body parts splattered. Big kudos to those fearless flyers, especially the women!

This is the 1st year the USA will have a woman's team in ski jumping..which caught me by surprise. I totally agree though...that event is sick! I get weak knees just looking at pictures of the ski jump...but I love watching it. I compare those ski jumpers to sky divers jumping out of a perfectly good running aircraft...NUTS!

Anything that isn't judged.

These judged events, summer or winter olympics, drive me crazy. Don't get me started ...
