What events are you watching have you watched? 


I’ve watched some curling mainly the mixed doubles team which is going for gold tomorrow. I have a curling spot within walking distance of my house. I need to take a lesson and start playing. 


I’ve also watched some of the ski events. Looking forward to watching some speed skating and men’s hockey.

I haven't watched any of them. The Olympics just don't interest me anymore, in the way they used to back in the day. I do like to see the US win the medals, though.

Watching mixed doubles curling right now. I've seen a fair amount of them. Or "seen", as they've been background visuals while working and doing other stuff, but they've been on TV.

I still love the Olympics - I'll watch hours of crap like Curling I'd never watch otherwise.


Much less of a fan of the Winter Olympics.  Main problem is, like the Summer Olympics, way too much of the boring sports like Gymnastics and Figure Skating.  They'll cover every freaking minute from prelims to finals, while other sports we get basically just the finals but only if and MAYBE if an American has a shot at a medal.

That's one of the big bonuses of how there's 5 million streaming services nowadays. I'm just on Peacock where I can watch what I want and, unless I just have the TV on autopilot because I'm doing something else, can avoid most/all of the stuff I'm not interested in. Not interrupting my curling for figure skating!

Haven't had much time, but I made sure to watch Snowboarding Big Air.


Tuned in to watch Ollie Martin. He's 17 and from Vail. My friend's son goes to the same high school. He got 4th, barely got bumped off the podium.
