No surprise here for the Canadian girl: hockey- 100%. Men's hockey comes first because it's faster, but I watch the women's as well.

I'm not watching from Sochi, I'm still bitter that I have friends who got to watch us win gold in hockey in Vancouver 4 years ago. (I live east of central Canada and flights to Vancouver are like $800).

But I am watching from home, once it gets past the preliminaries I'm going to be getting up SUPER early (like 3am) to watch the hockey games. But, on the bright side, I don't have to miss them for work- they'll definitely be done before I even have to leave lol.

I also like moguls (Go Canada Go- we got gold AND silver in men's AND women's!) and luge. I watch ice dance with my mom because she likes it and we don't get a lot of time to just hang out, but I must admit I usually read/text until it's Canada's turn (I find it a bit boring).

Did you get up early today to watch Canada vs. USA in women's hockey? Also are you in the eastern time zone?

[Betwyn]

I can't pick a fave event..

Snowboarding, all types..

Men's Hockey

Bobsled

Freestyle Skiing Ariels

Freestyle Skiing Moguls

Really looking forward to the Luge Relay

Even short track speed skating is fun to watch

I voted E - I wouldn't know these games were on if it wasn't for the local news to report on some minister of ours that supposedly had gone to the city where it's being held (very probably on taxpayers money) and published a photo of himself on some social media site, sitting somewhere near the top of a stadium, sitting with his jacket on and flashing a little bit of a scarf he had around his neck which had the "gaypride colors"

...yeah, that was a massive protest on his behalf (note my sarcasm) and I skimmed through the article, on a public funded news media, and was made out to be a friggin' national hero for that 'daring' act of protest (oh yeah, he took the world press by storm with this protest *rolls eyes*)

And in a nutshell - I don't watch sports, never been a fan of any sport

[ironeddie]

Hockey. Mens and womens. I live for international tournaments.

I will schedule my vacation time from work around tournaments. LOL!

I would like to see something be done to get countries more on par /competitive with the U.S. and Canada in women's hockey.

I like watching the downhill skiing and I'm enjoying the snowboarding too.

:-)

I agree about the lack of competition from European countries in women's hockey. Canada and the US are always the top champs at every IIHF tournament. I think at the last Olympics, Canada had beat some Euro team like 18-0. That was crazy.

[ironeddie]

Over all I enjoy the winter olympics. Figure skating and speed skating are my two least favorite events. I could put the winter games on and leave it on 24/7.

The summer olympics? If I watch 20 minutes of it, I'd be surprised.

[cjwright79]

Finland put in a good showing against Canada in women's hockey this morning. Kept it tied at zero until midway through the third period. Final score 3-0. They took bronze in Vancouver. Also Russia and Germany played well the day before.

[ironeddie]

Ya the Germans and the Fins both surprised me. Maybe things are looking up.

[madhatters4]

hard to say. I like the speed skating a lot but the ski events are really my favorite, especially the downhill, slalom and snowboarding. I even like the cross country ski events

I like the hockey a lot too but I typically never can find them or am not up when they are going on

[sketchy]

Skiing and hockey. Not that interested in the rest, to be honest.

I can't help noticing there are a *lot* of very, very attractive female athletes at these games - far more than in the summer games (I guess it's because a lot of them are Scandinavian).

Silje Norendal (a truly ridiculously hot Norwegian snowboarder) is my new favourite, along with Austrian skiier Anna Fenninger.

[musicbrain5]

Hockey and figure skating mostly. Those figure skaters make it look so damn easy and glamorous. I also like luge and skeleton. I'm also looking forward to women's ski jumping since it's the first time women can compete.

[WhiteSteve]

I'm not a big winter sports fan, I hate all that skiing and snowboarding type stuff. Nothing against it, I just don't care to watch anything X-Games-ish, that's not really sports to me. I suppose hockey would be my "favorite", but there's no fighting, and hockey without fighting isn't real hockey to me. I give the Winter Olympics two thumbs down. I will however, watch the Jamaican bobsled team, purely out of respect for Cool Runnings.

[yaddayaddayadda02]

So far, I've enjoyed the snowboarding the most. I don't like figure skating. God, the women snowboarders are all so freaking hot.

[Kris85]

Well,being a Canadian, I pick hockey of course. I love watching it

[xHoneyxBeex]

I like to watch the figure skating and the snowboarding slope style the most.

[Anonymous]

Ice Hockey is really the only sport I like watching. I don't mind snow boarding, but ice hockey is where it's at, for me.

[Anonymous]

Curling. I have always loved this sport and I have no idea why.

[tokioangel95]

I am a skier so I love to watch it.

[sovetskii13]

Ice hockey because I play ice hockey.

[JamielovesKU]

I think figure skating is pretty cool :)
