What's your favorite Winter Olympic sport?

Hockey? We didn't wear all that protective crap when we played dodge ball in school. And what the heck is up with the black spot and the sticks? Really, grow a pair.

As a MN boy, it's gotta be Hockey!

Maybe the rules have changed, but the last time I played dodge ball, it didn't involve metal blades, slamming into each other at high rates of speed, hand-held weapons, or 100+mph frozen rubber pucks.

KERSPLAAATTTTT. One of the famous (Scandinavian?) ski jump hills has a cemetary just beyond the run out area. Not very reassuring IMO.

 

[JJsqueeze]

the jump is actually called Kersplatt. I think the town nearby is called Olysheet.

Ski jumping? It's not jumping. It's falling...with style.

That's right. In Finland.

Hockey, eh!

The Hockey and Curling tournaments are probably the best in the Olympics. As an event the Men's downhill is insane.
