Men's hockey of course. That's a given.
Although, when it actually played out last Olympics, the women were the ones to watch.
Speaking of women, I don't know why, but I like women's curling. And again why? I don't know. It's not like there's a call for a nude calendar of the women curlers. Beach Volleyball babes they are not. Nevertheless I prefer watching womens' curling to watching mens'. The men are all smash and bash. With the women I like to watch those intense looks of concentration, and try to guess strategies, then they do that half-time thing with the coffee and the donuts where they just sit around and gab. It's so Tim Hortons. Maybe that's it. Womens curling feels all Canadian culture-y to me. Speaking of which...Those damn Chinese. They're getting good. Damned traitor Canadian coaches who went over there, and spilled the beans on Canadian national secrets of curling. They should be tried for treason. When the Russian coaches come and teach our summer girls gymnastics though, that's OK. Don't ask why? Cause it is, that's why.
The events on the hill don't interest me much. 1 hour of waiting, and 10 seconds of Ahhhhh!!! Although...out of the corner of my eye I saw this event where teams of snowboarders were racing. That looked kind of cool.
I hear we have good skiers this Olympics, but aren't a bunch of them hurt, or something?
Figure skating for me is kind of anti-climax ever since the Salt Lake City doubles thing. Really...how do you follow that?
Speed skating - alway cool. We're supposed to have some good ones this time too, and I think, they're even healthy.
Oh well...6 more days.
