Short track speed skating is like a roller derby, but on ice. It's crazy.

I'm in the minority that likes the Olympics. It gives us a chance to feel that national solidarity and pride that the rest of the world gets whenever their country plays soccer. There are a lot of diverse events, all interesting in their own ways. You get hot chicks in skimpy (summer) or skintight (winter) outfits. What's not to like? I don't go out of my way to TiVo stuff but, while it's being aired, I'll certainly keep the TV tuned to it.
Besides, sometimes, when the Russian chicks figure-skate, they glide towards the camera with one leg held high and you get a nice snatch shot. |

I love all Olympics and will watch all I can.
I especially like the Winter games because they have so much wierd stuff. I also especially like them because of the Downhill. I must say I'm pretty much an accomplished skier myself, never mind it would take me 2 hours to get down the same run the downhillers do in 2 minutes. |

Save yourself some time and watch Victory, Miracle, or Rocky IV

But actually with all the stuff online and about 6 different NBC owned cable channels, alot of the obscure sports get covered now more than ever before. I remember watching Judo, fencing and Equestrian during the last Summer Olympics. |
