The half pipe is entertaining, but the whim of the judges carries too much weight. I think it's no better than figure skating. I don't know the names of all these events but the snowboard race with 4 people on the track at a time is a hoot to watch.
I was watching the qualifying short track speed skating relay last night, and it looked like a mosh pit with all these people crowding on the ice tagging each other. |

winter olympics? no thanks. While I respect their dedication and athleticism I have no interest in any of those sports.

I think the biathlon is the coolest because it is rooted in the spirit of the Olympic games. Plus there's guns. And it's extremely measurable; either you hit the target in the very very center or you don't.
This would also be an excellent event: Rescuing the infant king.

I HATE the commentators more this year than I usually do. I don't know if I'm just more hostile in my old age...or if they are being extra annoying

the snow cross , the short track skaters Both should be able to have Spiked Elbow pads !!!
Blood on the snow !!!! All the down hill skiing looks like fun , though I would die a Horrible death trying to do them . Biathlon is Verry cool , but where is the Summer equivalent ? Marathon with Firearms I say !! Oh and the Luge and Skeleton look like a Blast !! Except the Double Luge , that Just looks Ghay !!!
