1. I'd rather watch the skiing.

There, now we're even.

2. Which type of skiing?

If you're talking Freestyle, or Alpine, then I'll understand. But if it's Nordic, I'll shake my head in disbelief.

Freestyle, like dancing around on the ice, is just an exhibition of athletic skills, not a sport.

4. I vote for figure skating too.

Love Charlie White. He's a cutie.

Downhill looks like a fun way to kill yourself at high speeds.

5. I'd like to see figure skating on skis

That takes an athlete.

6. Blades too long. Length gets in the way.

I am not a real flag-waver, but this guy has been my skating hero for decades. Ever since he had tears in his eyes on the medal stand when they played the Star Spangled Banner for his gold medal:




That's Scott Hamilton with hair in 1984 at Sarajevo.

7. I'd rather watch trepanation than figure skating
