Yeah, it's great. Except for figure skating, the second worst "sport" ever after the karate dancing they had at the Tokyo Olympics. Will still force myself to watch any British medal hopes.

I think a bit less of all the sports that have some subjectivity involved, they're rarely as fun to watch.

Pretty much anything artistic is cack mind. That goes for the summer games as well.

No new sports but we're looking very strong in the mens skeleton and the womens freestyle skiing and snowboarding so they're probably the ones worth watching. Decent shot for medals in the mens curling and the figureskating as well though.

Thanks but, for future reference, it's "skellington". Can't stand figure skating but might just be able to force myself to watch Britain's ones if they have a medal chance.

Same, as for the joyless bastard above I quite enjoy watching almost anything where someone can show off a supreme level of skill, so I generally enjoy things like the halfpipe and slopestyle and my wife absolutely loves watching the figureskating so we'll definitely have it on for those. Aside from that there's something appealing about the bob, skeleton and luge so I usually watch a fair bit of it, even if it can get a bit tedious if they're all really good.

I'd love to havd a go on the Bobsleigh (I'd be in the middle) and maybe the head first on a tea tray event.

No way I'd do the feet first tea tray event though.

Assume I'm naturally gifted at Curling, with my ancestry, but haven't given it a go. How hard can it be?

Enjoy the events where they race against each other with lots of crashing.
