For me, visually, I gotta say summer is better, just given the (female) skin factor. But I have always liked watching the skiing a lot too. No doubt some like snotbubbles are torn between mens gymnastics and figure skating.

You know, I'm not even sure what it is, but I think my childhood memories of watching the summer games are just better, so I automatically think of the summer Olympics in a positive light.
OR ... it might have to do with the fact that when I watch the summer games, I'm not freezing my balls off.

I used to be a professional figure skater, so you can imagine that I prefer the Winter Games. I actually did a show with Scott Hamilton many years ago. I also played hockey and did some skiing in my youth. I had hip replacement surgery about a year ago, so I am not able to participate in ice and snow games any more.

I like the winter olympics... BUT they need to put more interesting coverage on than figure skating every day.

Olympics is great...both;

I'm a winter person. I enjoy the Winter Olympics much more. Always been partial to the cold and snow.

I have a bone to pick with NBC over the coverage of the USA/Canada hockey game, instead of it being shown on NBC in primetime it will be shown on MSNBC. They have decided that Ice dancing is more appealing. What a bunch of horse shit.
Summer by a land slide, almost all of my favorite sports participate in the summer games. I have no interest in hockey, or figure skating at all, the only event in the winter I really like is downhill skiing.

Summer for me. The basketball, track and field finals, and swimming keep me glued to my TV. Hopefully the golf will be good.

I like Summer more as a whole but Winter has some great events that I enjoy (Hockey, bobsledding, skeleton, and ski jumping)
