Eh... It's not really my thing. I would be more interested in actually competing than watching others in a competition. Not that I'm big about pride and needing to prove something anyway. And the positive image surrounding countries getting together like that is just a facade, and gives a false reflection of how things really are. People of different nations are usually at conflict in some way or another, and competition works because it's a form of conflict as well. It shows that they can be civil, but I don't think that that's enough. I guess that's just me, though.

Go team! YAY!!!! :lol:

Seriously, some of the sports there are pretty cool to watch... although it sucks that one whole TV channel is dedicated just to the winter games... cutting out a lot of shows. >_>

I like some events, but not others. Many of them I don't watch, but there are a few things I enjoy. I'm not a sports person, but I do tend to support my home teams. :)

None of the options applied, so I'll just explain.

I like figure skating.

And while I haven't followed it heavily, I like what I've seen.

And so far, outside of that chick who screwed up her kneecaps, the Chinese have some very fine figure skaters.
