What sports do you only watch during the Winter Olympics?

[neonorchid]

Curious which winter sports folks only watch during the Olympics. For me it is definitely the following:

• Curling
• Bobsled and Skeleton
• Speed skating
• Anything related to Cross country skiing

Really enjoy watching these during the Olympics but am just not motivated outside of the Olympics.

All of 'em except for alpine skiing.

All of em except HOCKEY

Still a fan of the classic ski movies.. But don't go out of my way to watch live skiing competitions anymore..

Only Alpine Skiing

I refuse to watch or pay attention to Olympic games or results. The IOC are an arrogant, elitist, and corrupt bunch that are emblematic of what is wrong with our society today. I will have nothing to do with the IOC or their phony baloney fake amateur sports event.

I agree with every one of your assertions here.

I also, unfortunately, feel that there is such a thing as 'Olympic spirit' - and that the athletes rather deserve our attention for the level of achievement they embody.

That that attention is being jammed through the filters of nationalist and capitalist and outright extortionist corruption means I feel morally justified to source my feed anywhere I can.

I've struggled with this the entire Olympics. I want to support the athletes and their struggles and glory. But then by doing that I'm supporting and continuing all the disgusting things they do to some of those athletes thru the media, trainers, parents and all the corruption of some that use the spirit of the olympics to make themselves rich off those athletes and countries and the games.
