Now, the WINTER Olympics is a whole different kettle of lutefisk. Bobsled, Super G, Biathlon, heck, even curling is interesting once every four years!

OK, great. Personally the winter Olympics are mostly boring. The long jump and downhill skiing are cool, but ice skating to music is right there with the Disney on Ice show.
Track and field is the core of the Olympics, all timed to super precise results. Run faster or jump further, you win. No judge to say your style was not as perfect as the one from his home country.
Gymnastics is amazing for the abilities and strength but bad judges make it really hard to accept the results much of the time.
