I liked the lady snow boarders. Other than that, it's all sorta "meh".

I've always looked forward to the Winter Olympics...I like everything.
The pair skaters from Germany were very good, but the pretty in pink German has it all happening.

I really like the aerial skiing, snowboarding, half pipe etc. Curling is actually pretty good.
Yes it is good entertainment. G. |

I'm watching it and having a grand old time! Have you guys seen some of the women curlers? They have some stunners! The X games stuff is very exciting, too.

My wife and I are watching every night from 8-11. Yeah, sure there is some boring stuff, but the best is to watch it then read the articles in the online news services the next day. Talk about spin and political additions

Nope. As a household, we watch very little TV.

Nope. I find the athletes to be impressive, but the commentary normally pegs my annoyance meter within a few minutes. I wish they could just STFU. I don't watch sports for reality TV drama, and I'm tired of seeing how hard of a life every damn one of them had. It's a global sports competition, not a human interest story on Oprah.

The biathlon events look utterly brutal. Full respect to those athletes.

Is anyone actually watching the Olympics?
One of the few things I'll actually watch on TV. Fun to see. The over-hyped reporting sucks but it's still worth seeing these folks compete.
One has to realize we're seeing about 0.5% of what goes on for each event too. Lots of non-Americans and / or non-medal contenders who participate and represent their countries. They're all probably better than I could ever be!

Not as interesting when you know the results before the TV broadcasts.
However, Franz Klammer's downhill at the 1976 olympics is the best athletic performance I think I have ever seen... literally I'll win or I'll die trying performance.

Watching all the prime time... Avoiding spoiler results online. Love all skiing events and any events that are not decided by judging. Hate the snowboarding punk crap.

I don't have TV, but if I'm in a place that has it on and they are showing skate/sky/snowboard racing then I'm hooked.
