Anyone watching the games? Really enjoyed the Men's Snowboard Cross and Half-Pipe

I recall a Public Service Announcement that the folks from Rooster-Teeth (the guys that did Red vs. Blue) did last time the winter olympics rolled around...and I'm with them. 

Every event could use more polar bears.

I've got to be completely honest, I could not care less about the Olympics.

I would much rather watch team sports than personal accomplishment-based sports.

Ever wonder why curling was divided into Men's and Women's competitions?


















Answer:
Because women are more used to sweeping!

I'm watching the Olympics quite a lot.

Men's Ice Hockey is quite nice to watch. Snowboard cross and Half-Pipes are also fun to watch. Skeleton and Luge are also 2 crazy sports that are worth watching but it gets repetitive after a few runs. Short track speed skating is also interesting to watch. I'll watch the Female Ice Hockey final, before that it's very boring USA and Canada beating all other teams 10-0.

Luge Doubles would probably shock a lot of people, go on youtube and have a look, you will understand why.

Women's ice hockey is ridiculous right now. Last I checked, Canada had 41 goals in 3 games.
Curling, once you figure out what's going on, is quite fun to watch too.

I'm not watching too much, but I automatically strike out my respect for any sport that can be performed in jeans. *coughcoughsnowboardingcoughcough*

Halfpipe is more of a sport than, say, hockey.

Being a skier myself, I follow the skiing and snowboarding. Best part of the games.

I do not agree.

Halfpipe is about half the sport that hockey is. They even have it in the name.
