Cold-weather fan

Daily writing prompt
What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?

I’m more of a Winter Olympics fan than Summer– Nordic combined, curling, some of the snowboarding events, ski jumping, hockey, some of the intermediate length speed skating races, luge, and bobsled.

I can do without the figure skating, mostly because the commentary and play-by-play are sometimes insufferable and difficult to listen to.

What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?

Winter– ski jumping, Biathlon, for some reason, maybe hockey and luge. Summertime– certain track and field events, and gymnastics. I’m not as glued to the TV during the Olympics as I used to be.

I’m heartened by the stories of good sportsmanship, and I like the underdog stories– the medal winners who surprise everyone because they defy certain odds and perform beyond expectations.
