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!!!!
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.
