Are you following the events?

I watched some of them this weekend.  Love the skating.  I did watch the two sisters from Canada win the silver and gold medals in skiing.  How proud their parents must be, as should all parents of everyone there, whether they win or not.  What an honor to represent your country.

i watched some of the events...some snow boarding and ice skating.  It's interesting and both those sports are entertaining...I also like seeing Russia.  Have a great week everyone...

I've been watching the slopestyle snowboarding and it's really cool. So glad that this is an event now

I've been sort of watching luge and figure skating.

No.  I am not watching the Olympics at all.

I've been watching on and off... It was disappointing that Shaun White wasn't able to capture another gold, but kudos to him for even putting snowboarding on the map. I also saw the 2 Canadian sisters win metals and heard that another of their sisters got 12th as well.

I like all of the skiing / snow boarding events (including all of the cross-country events), sledding events (luge, bobsled, skeleton, etc.), hockey, curling, and speed skating but I can't stand figure skating (even though it is always one of the favorites for the rest of the public). It seems like that is so subjective that it really seems to be up to the judges whim (and is really noticeable when the judges are very biased). Add to that all of the scandals in that event, and it has really tarnished my perception of that sport.
