Favorite Winter Olympic Sport?

[Zomby Woof]

For me, it's all about curling. The Rodney Dangerfield of Winter Olympic Sports. I love curling; I can't help it.

Hockey, snowboarding, and bobsledding come next.

1. figuring out what the next big olympic scandale will be......

:)

2. Barrel Jumping

Well, in my perfect world it would be.

3. i dig snowboarding

i have done it :scared: needless to say, i wasn't very good

[Zomby Woof]

5. I am too uncoordinated

Some of my good friends back in WA state are quite good at it. It requires as much skill as skiing, and was overdue for Olympic status. :hi: Buddhamama!

8. i have the coordination

apprehension held me back. a friend broke her collar bone snowboarding-probably had something to do with the apprehension. Hi ZW! :loveya:

15. Second on the snowboarding choice.

I just looked at my Burton in the corner and sighed.

4. The Skeleton

20. Second.

That's some crazy, schoolage, "I invented this sport in my backyard" kind of shit. Glad to see it's finally been getting some attention in the past few years.

6. did you ever try curling? I did....once. And I was in sore muscle hell

for three days afterward. It is more difficult than it looks, but I had a blast at the class. :hi:


My favorite is the luge.

[Zomby Woof]

9. It IS hard

Sweeping and moving down the ice, combined with shuffleboard skills. It is multidimensional. :D

I love the luge! Any of those events which involve going down tubes of ice at a dangerously high speed are okay by me!

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. I have "issues" with balance...

;) and fell over on my face more times than not while trying to throw the stone... It's actually a thing of beauty, to me, to see the coordination involved. :hi:

[Zomby Woof]

12. Yep

And I like that the stones all have to come from one single quarry in the world. Makes that unique among sports. :hi:

[deadparrot]

7. Hockey. nt

[u4ic]

11. Ski Jumping

Bravery or madness? :D

[eyepaddle]

13. Luge--having been an avid sledder as a child

(we'd always look for crevices and whatnot to run down so we could pretend we were bobsledding) you just can't help being a bit envious of somebody who gets to do that at warp factor seven!

[flvegan]

14. Attitash in New Hampshire has alpine slides which reminded me

of the luge when I did them a few times. You can go as slowly or as quickly as gravity allows. Considering some of the speeds I felt like I was going, they should offer helmets.

16. Biathlon

A test of endurance and precision under stress.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

17. Any kind of skating--figure, speed.... Just anything.

No hockey, though. :D :P

[Midlodemocrat]

18. Luge and downhill.

Love them. I could take or leave ice skating or ice dancing.

[Zomby Woof]

19. Hehe

Yeah! Give me dangerous downhill on ice and snow kinds of events! :D
