    If you watch it whats your favorite event?

    I love the hockey because you see teams like Canada, Sweden, and the USA loaded with NHL players who you would normally not see play with each other or against each other.

    Also I am also a fan of the Snowboard half-pipe and curling. It must appeal to my meticulous side because I could sit and watch curling for hours!

    I like hockey, but I can watch that all the time. I like the sports I never get to see.
    Biathalon, curling, speedskating are tops.
    down hill skiing, super G are cool too. I will watch the figure skating & dancing for the eye candy.
    I have no real interest at all in the half pipe, moguls, and goofy stuff like that.

    I like all the "X game" type events.

    I also love curling and the traditional downhill skiing events. Speedskating as well.

    Hockey does not interest me.

    I enjoy the Winter Olympics much more than the Summer Olympics.

    Curling is always fun. I like the snowboarding and skiing events as well.

    I'll typically watch whatever is on but hockey is first choice. US vs Canada in the gold medal game is my Super Bowl.

    Ski Jumping, Downhill Skiing and Speed Skating. But above all else is the Hockey. As a soon to be teenager in 1980, I watched every bit of the USA Hockey Team that I could and it made a lasting impression me. Watching those 'underdogs' overcome shaped how I played sports.

    I remember Jim Craig looking for his Dad in the crowd right after winning the championship game. I still get goose bumps.
