No I don't really care.... I'll watch the hockey games, and the boxing... but since they split the games up I don't even know if those sports are going to be on the menu....

Hockey mostly, but some of the other events are fun too watch.

I can't say I'd miss the olympics if they fell of the face of the planet, but I do like the hockey games.
The rest are lame to me: Biathlon Bobsleigh Curling Luge Skating Skiing

Quote:
Wiki said: Skeleton is a winter sport in which competitors aim to drive a one-person sled in a prone, head-first position down an ice track in the fastest time. This differs from luge, where the rider drives the sled from a supine, feet-first orientation. This Olympic sport is known in some parts of the world as tobogganing. It takes its name from the stripped-down sled, which originally was a bare frame, like a skeleton.
Skeleton is the oldest known sledding sport. It originates from St. Moritz, Switzerland, where in 1884 the Cresta run was built by Major Bulpetts. The following year, the first annual Grand National was organised, which continues as the premier race in the sport. For many years, Skeleton competitions were conducted only in St. Moritz. When the Winter Olympic Games were held there in 1928 and 1948, the event was included in the program. Skeleton returned a third time at the 2002 Games and again for the 2006 Winter Olympics.

It's addictive once you start to watch it. I like the Winter Olympics a lot. Maybe it comes from having European genes?!

I was watching the news a couple minutes ago and they said the biggest threat to the olympics are anarchists and anti-globalists. Found that kind of strange for some reason.

I voted "no" a few weeks ago, but I was reading George Carlin's "Brain Droppings" last night and found an appropriate quote:
"How can people take the Olympics seriously? Judges vote politically, athletes cheat on drugs, xenophobes run wild, and the whole thing is one big greed-driven logo competition."
Around the time the Olympics were starting they busted an anabolic steroid lab here. I was thinking "shit, now we're going loose the Olympics!" But in reality I have absolutely no interest in it and I immediately move the newspaper out of my way if it has some "national heroes" from the Olympics on it.
I was at a public cafeteria the other day and there was a large screen TV set up there. The Olympics were on. I've been back by there a few times and the Olympics were still on. They're on 24/7 there. The TV is by one of the main doorways and young guys gather around, tilt their heads up, stand with limp arms and drool at the screen.
This cafeteria with its OS-TV is located at an institution of "higher" education, a university.
