The Best of the Winter Olympics!
What are you loving so far?
When I watch the moguls skiers, it makes my knees hurt. Really. That is some kind of torture-sport!
Short-track speedskating is another favorite of mine-- a bunch of guys barreling around the track and then BANG it is done! I can't quite figure out the tactics on that one, because sometimes it seems like they are barely moving...
Meanwhile, my favorite thus far is the biathlon. Skiing and shooting guns at stuff is just the most wicked awesome sport ever. I'm pretty sure, too, that there has to be some kind of recreational biathlon league around Minneapolis, and perhaps I can start doing it myself...

I am trying really hard not to watch any of it* but that Sage guy is just too great. He does one of those board sports - I am not sure what it is called. Still, he skipped the Opening Ceremony and ate Cheetos and onion rings in his room! How can you not love that?
MMM
*If any bit of the story about how the Olympic Committee did not use the $50 million to build an animal shelter but chose instead to just kill them is true, then the whole thing makes me sick.

I can tell you team ice skating is not something to love, although it gave the skaters some competition practice before their 'real' events.
I too enjoyed the skateboarding, aerial trick event on the snow board thing. And yes, Mogul skiers have the ortho surgeons seeing $$$$.
Similar to the Biathlon is the Nordic Combined - X skiing, shooting and ski jumping.

Since it's all hockey, all the time at our house, I guess I should say hockey's the best. Truth be told, slopestyle (Sage) was way better than hockey! But I'm a girl, so I love figure skating and my favorite is the cute pony-tailed kid figure skater in the green outfit -- I want him to take gold (and beat Pleshenko!)
The Canadian figure skater who looks like Jon Heder in Blades of Glory.
Julia Mancuso
USA Women's Hockey (got to see them play Canada)
Anybody on cross country skis (pinnacle of human aerobic/anaerobic performance)
Mens Downhill (zero to 70mph in 4 seconds! - wearing a helmet and a skin suit and 7 foot boards on your feet)
Short Track Speedskating (kind of like Rollerderby)
