    It depends....live or on TV?

    I lived in Salt Lake City during the 2002 winter Olympics and went to many of the events. Bobsledding is very exciting to see live, as long as you get a spot next to the "death curve" (where everyone flips). Cross Country skiing is considerably the most boring, since 90% of it is just sitting in the snow waiting for the athletes to wizz by...and the track is very long so it takes forever.

    Hockey is the best sport ever to watch live...whether its Olympic, NHL, or whatever. Slalom and ski jumping are ok live as well.

    But as far as just watching events on TV, I LOVE ice dancing and couples figure skating. I think ice dancing is even more exciting than couples figure skating, since they're doing actual dances on ice so there's a lot more foot movement (fewer acrobatics though). It's much more ballroom dancing, and I love ballroom dancing. Second would be speed skating, followed by snowboard half pipe.

    I've found that over the past three Olympics (02, 06, 10) that I actually like watching pretty much every single event. The only two that I skip at all costs is curling, and figure skating (except I did watch Patrick Chan because of all the hype surrounding him).

    So do no longer watch it. Do you like countless activities? the comparable questions may well be asked. what's the factor of any stick and ball activities? what's the factor of hitting a ball by a purpose or a basket? i like that it brings collectively human beings from international extensive to compete to the superb of their potential. I merely have been given homestead from the Vancouver Olympics and it develop right into a superb adventure seeing the international come collectively like that in the process peace.

    Haven't had the chance to watch curling and i'm okay with that. Snowboarding is my fav with skating (not speed) after it. After that I watch the rest because it's on inbetween. You know what, this is different than watching sporting teams. These people are a different type of athlete and I like it tons better than watching sporting teams (football, baseball, etc.). These people are really the best of the best and none of it is easy so you have to admire their ability. Every single one of them.

    oh - and none of it is really showboating like the regular stuff on tv.
