Olympics. Summer or Winter

Or neither? And what is your favorite competition and or your least favorite.

Meh, the days of amateur competition are long gone.

Summer; Swimming--I was a world-ranked swimmer and a finalist at the Olympic Trials in '92 (400m Freestyle). I still have a lot of friends who are coaching, and its fun to see their successes doing that.

Winter minus hockey.

I love me some curling, bobsled and down hill skiing

I love them both.

Summer I like the all the events and winter I Like them all.

ooh, IIRC the Canadian Womens MILF Curling Team

I know you guys love some pole vaulting.

I love to watch the weight lifting (go figure) but I'm not sure if that's a summer or winter thing. Nothing will make you feel lazy and weak faster than watching some European, who's in your weight class, snatch more than you can squat!

Winter, hockey specifically.

Winter.

I want to Luge (singles only, unless they go co-ed).

I like the downhill events in the winter.

Winter - Bobsled. I love it. I still watch Cool Runnings to this day.

Whichever one has Badminton.

Winter minus snowboarding.

Summer. Womens beach volleyball.

I like them both. Curling and cross country for winter are big hits, and I love the weightlifting too for summer.

Jed, my favorite is the tiny women who can snatch and clean and jerk so much more than I can.

Winter; the element of higher speeds challenge the athletes in ways the summer events can't.

And then there is women's curling...........

I like both. I can sit and watch coverage on TV 24/7, no difference in either.

Neither.

Last ones I watched were Sarejevo.

I would say winter because I like the skater chicks, but I'm too old to say that anymore without getting investigated by the FBI.

Summer, by far. Favorite event:

Women's Olympic Mountain Biking - Especially the bouncy parts.

Winter - So many cool ways to let gravity try to kill people. Also, curling.

Summer - I'll try to catch BMX, but that's about it.

Winter....you get hockey, luge, hockey, bobsled, hockey, cresta, hockey, downhill, hockey, curling,hockey, slalom, nordic combined, hockey, ski jumping and hockey.

I get more involved in Summer.

Swimming, gymnastics are high-drama, so I get sucked in. Cycling is just plain cool--especially the velodrome stuff that I never see outside of the Olympics.

Women's swimming and beach volleyball are simply pleasant to look at.
