In addition, say why, and/or the sports in the Olympics that you like watching.
For me it is the Winter Olympics, because it's more convenient to sit down and watch, and I think the sports are really cool. I really like Olympic hockey and skiing.

Don't watch them, though I always find it interesting how with each Olympics, people in the US find a new sport to latch onto and act like it hasn't been in every Olympics as far back as anyone can remember.

Hah, most definitely. The same thing is true for the World Cup, which so many people in the U.S. pretend to care about when it comes around.

Summer Olympics. I'm Australian, i dont even know why we bother competing in the Winter Olympics. The only people who can win medals for us are actually Canadians.

Yeah, I don't get it... Every winter olympics they're fucking around in this white shit that's everywhere. It even looks like it falls from the sky sometimes. What's up with that? And why are they all kitted out like the Michellin Man was attacked by preschoolers with spray cans? And why don't they have proper winter sports like Football and Rugby and Surfing-Now-All-The-****-Tourists-Have-Pissed-Off?

And whats with all the sliding down hills on undersized surfboards. And skiing out of water, what sort of a silly idea is that. And what is with that white stuff, it looks like they've taken that cold stuff out of the eskie and crushed it up! But how do they keep all the beer warm then?

Well I'm Canadian, so I'm pressured to say winter, but I hate the cold, so I'm pressured to say summer. I'll just go with my heritage though, I guess.

That's not half as bad as that one time Jamaica competed and Disney made a movie out of it. Cool Runnings is a great movie though.

winter because most of the events are fun even if you have no idea what is going on in summer you have the big things(basketball track and field ect) and a bunch of little stuff that is kinda boring to watch(ie swimming) in the winter olympics there aren't many big things hockey is just about it but most of the stuff is watchable.

I watch the summer Olympic basketball tournament, but that's the extent of my interest in Olympic sports.

Well, the winter Olympics have figure skating, which is really the only thing I watch because I'm so incredibly lame, and the summer Olympics, I don't bother with at all. Honestly, the only sport I really watch on TV is the footy, and I don't think they have that in the Olympics.

Hockey is in the Winter Olympics. It wins because of that.
