What we like most about the Olympics:

1. Seeing coverage & becoming passionate fans of sports we never see - in the winter sports it's curling of course, we got seriously hooked on curling in 2006. Say it ain't so...no curling team in TV!
2. Fast paced exciting hockey games where play is like Stanley Cup finals. Letting the "pro's" play for their home countries was the right move.
3. Alpine ski events, particularly downhill & jumping/flying which don't seem to get the coverage they used to.
4. Skating races. Never knew this was such a contact/collision sport!
5. Luge & bob-sled races. Wow...impressive win!

What we don't like about the Olympics.
1. Losing alpine ski coverage to snowboarding events? We were unable to find any downhill race coverage at all? Did anyone actually see a whole Bode Miller run...live?
2. Too much time spent on background/human interest stories (and as usual, commercials).
3. Too many snowboarding events - too much coverage; is this really the demographic (teens & 20's) watching the Olympics?

Bring on the summer Olympics, the Greco-Roman wrestling and the water polo!
