Summer Olympics or Winter Olympics?

I used to prefer winter. But I have to say I found the Beijing summers last year to be quite awesome and compelling.

But I do love me some downhill and grand slalom, as well as ski jump, luge, and bobsled.

Winter for me. I love luge and skeleton, but then I'm weird. I love the fans at the ski events because I have a fever and the only cure is more cowbell. I love the way the Canadians care so much about hockey and curling. And how can you not love the weirdness of the biathlon, a sport that combines skiing and firearms?

It was winter, though I must admit I don't "get" the newer events with those halfpipes and whatnot. But it still has curling and skiing and skating.

Summer all the way. Diving and swimming are my sports.

Lynn said...

Winter. I like both but the Winter Olympics has more sports that I enjoy.

The way I see it, if it isn't a sport the ancient Greeks would recognize, the hell with it. Also no team sports, and no sports where there is already an international championship (e.g. soccer).
