    Default Winter Olympics 2010

    So what are people's favorite sports and who are you rooting for?

    I mainly watch figure skating and short track speed skating. I tend to root for China first and then the U.S. I was so glad that Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo finally won Gold in their final Olympics!

    yeah, they were the favorites, but their countrymen did extremely well. i hope the #2 team will be around for the next olympics.

    Rooting for China & Canada. I'd watch any sport involving a contender from either country. Hockey is the one I'll be paying the most attention to though, I want Canada to win but hope Kovalchuk does something spectacular with Russia.

    Yes . Curling seems fun. I was doing a part-time job as a waiter when Turin 2006 held. At that time, my work colleague after seeing Curling on TV ironically told me that curling is very suited for us since it involves lots of cleaning. Since then I kept close attention to it.

    As for Ice Hockey I really hope that Russia would win the Olympic Gold.

    After seeing Russia's performance against Slovakia I think they are at best a bronze medal team.

    Yeah, I am really disappointed after seeing Russian performance. Once the mighty Soviet Union now became bunch of weaklings.

    you can take curling classes. my friends signed up for a one day intro class.

    watching speed skating, don't you guys think the south koreans are douches? they keep pushing ppl. that's dangerous. at the end of one of the semi-finals, one of them shoved one of the canadian guys and the canadian totally gave him a WTF look, haha.

    Heh was it the one with one of the Hamelin bros? I remember watching that & thinking it would be funny if Hamelin retaliated by tackling the guy who pushed him.

    Apolo Anton Ohno! Just because he's hot and half-Japanese and he looks good speedskating.

    I wish he'd shave that goatee though.

    Hahaha, I remember 4 yrs ago when I first 'found' curling during the channel hopping. I was like "What the hell is that? that's one of the olympic games?? whatttt???" But it does look fun. I'm trying to get my friends to try it at least once, we talked about it, maybe one of these days we'll really give it a try.

    You can call me a soviet product since my early childhood passed under Soviet Regime. I grew up watching Russians in sport and entertainment. Since then I have a thing or two for Russians.

    By the way, Kim Yu Na Rocks! I loved her performance.

    Where did you grew up? Anyway, Russia isn't winning any medal now. I still can't believe how dominant Canada was.

    Yea the Russians got absolutely stomped on...Can't believe Sweden lost as well. It looks like it's going to be the Americans vs the Canadians in both Men & Women's for the gold.
