I really like speedskating and I'm hoping Jeremy Wotherspoon wins gold this year. I have been following that guy since he fell on his ####### in Salt Lake City and I'm hoping he'll finally get an Olympic gold.

I also love figure skating and I am cheering on the American Johnny Weir because he is FABULOUS.

I made this a poll but all my options are gone... I had it in alphabetical order too.

FFS!!! :angry:

Hmm. I don't know if I like any sport in particular, I like watching them all!

I'm really happy I'm in Vancouver's timezone too, so I can catch it all :D

Hey Nev? If it's any consolation, I made a poll about the exact same thing in the Polls forum this morning. :thumbs:

I'm going to watch a bit of everything, I'm sure. Ice hockey is my favorite, but I'm sure I'll enjoy ski-jumping, figure skating and of course the killer luge. Maybe they should turn the biathlon into a triathlon, adding a luge element to it. You have to jump on the luge and shoot targets all the way down...hmmm...

I like luge and biathalon.

I wonder though - any 'demonstration' sports this time?

Aww, poor Jeremy - he's had such unfortunate luck with competitions - wonder if the pressure gets to him? Like Perdita Felicien. :(

Yea I think it may be pressure for sure. It only really happens at the Olympics which really is like the pinnacle of most athletes careers right?

I feel like this is his last year to do it, and I just want to see him finally get that gold.

for artistry, i'd go with couples figure skating.

for scary, i'd go with luge, bobsled, and ski jump.
