Yes. And I am in Europe, so there is no time-difference issue for me. . I won't be seeing much. The only thing I would be interested in are biathlon, (ice) hockey, and some of the speed skating events.

The latter solely because those are the most popular events in the Netherlands in winter. In summer it is impossible to skate here.

I didn't realize it was already that time of the year again. Sometimes we watch it....sometimes we don't. I like the Winter Olympics better than the Summer ones though.

That's only because our athletes actually have to work to support themselves, not like in the US ;-)

I think Canadians win at Curling (ugh!) because no one else does it

Note: if there is a Curler that I'm offending, and there are tons here, someone may use a baseball bat on me!

Actually curling is often won by the Scottish, and some of the Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden, Finland), Germany and the US. As to why I know this, I plead insanity.

That would suck for the US. But the US will win some medals for the skating as well.
