Not surprisingly, the Winter Olympics are a far bigger deal. It isn't just because of the hockey; culturally, stuff like bobsled, curling, luge/skeleton, speed skating etc is just way more important/interesting to us than the 100M dash and a hundred and fifty swimming disciplines.

Purely from a visual standpoint, the events at the Winter Games are far more compelling.

And there's the hockey thing. We don't get best-on-best tournaments in hockey outside of the Olympics, so it's kind of a big deal for us.
I am not big on the Olympics in general but my perspective is exactly the opposite. I feel like a much bigger deal is made of the Summer games.

People IMO connect with them more because they are more likely to have done something a lot that is happening in the game.

For example...being best in the world at that ski jump is incredible. But how big is the pool of people that have made a huge jump like that...or are active doing that. Pretty damn small. Same goes for bobsled and all kinds of stuff.

In contrast things like running and swimming? Everyone has experienced them and the people who are best at it rise above of field of basically the world instead of some niche community with access to a bobsled ice course. Also because everyone has experience it's the feats are that much more amazing because you have a reference for how amazing what they are doing is compared to your own abilities.

So your saying that Winter Olympics are mostly "elitist" sports? Are you Bryant Gumbel?

OK, this girl does NOT look 15.... This pretty-much reminds me of the Chinese 15-year-olds.

Oh Lord, the American skater wiped out...the end.

I am not sure if she is skating tonight, but my favorite female figure skater is from South Korea.
