This may not get any interest from the forum, but the Olympics are pretty cool!

I'm watching the short track speed skating event and I would love to give that a try, looks like fun! Kinda like a Bristol Nascar race

If I enjoyed the winter/snow/ice, I'd probably go for the mountain biking events! Those look look like fun.

I dont care for sports but I love snow so I been watching. I used to ice skate as a kid when I lived in northern Wisconsin. We played a lot of hockey and had races all the time. Wish I was there again.
I think that bobsled and luge would be fun. Crashing might suck.

Running. I've had complete strangers ask me, "Why are you in the olympics?"

At first I thought they were making fun of me. But since it's happened more then once and from more then one person maybe they were being serious?

I guess curling, because that is the only sport fat guys can win at.

Snow boarding definitely!
It looks like a rush, again crashing would suck.
