Have you seen the two-man luge event at the Winter Olympics and is it not really "faggy" looking?

If I were one of those guys (hm...cannot quite picture this as I am a gurl, but anyway!) if I were one of them, I'd probably worry more about being able to control the speed of my sled than about how faggy I came across! I mean, just thinking about the km/h they make, gives me the creeps, honestly! Think of the massacre if they'd tumble out of the thing...

While the World Cup doesn't interest me, I truly enjoy the Olympics.\n\nI don't care to watch every event, prefer individual sports. I do make a effort to see the opening and closing ceremonies.\n\nAs a young child, I learned about different sports, and some basic geography.\n\nI do agree, there may be some politics, some of the evils of the world are showing their ugly faces, but that is only a very small part of the overall.\n\nI still like to see it as a chance for the world's youth to compete and show their skills. For a couple of weeks every other year, the best of the best get to meet, no matter what country they call home.\n\nHowever I am afraid things are changing. Even the Olympics are being affected by the less than desirable human traits. Cheating appears to be happening more often, and that handful of people who would like to use it to make a political statement.\n\nThe commercialization drives me crazy. You see the Olympic logo attached to everything, however that is the lesser of the evils. Those companies do have to pay a lot of money to use it, and any money that is gathered honestly, beats the alternative.

No I dont think its a waist. I love to see that younger people still have goals. Be it Olympics or whatever. Some parts of the world the Olympics are very important. I like some stuff. I watched the snowbording event last eve.

Heck Yes! You should start a rebelion or a revolution or something! Like when kids hate their parents, they go goth. And thats true, snowboarding is right?  That would probably make more people watch the olympics!

yeah but if not that way, how do we decide? \nOf course, at any given moment someone might to better or worse then they usually do but there is no way of comparing without competing and the competitive edge makes the psort more interesting. Also, if one athlete didn't do so well next time, it is moe exciting for them to outscore everyone next time.\n\nBesides I am Russian - so the olympics are never bad for me :D

I don't think so. It's a sport that both men and women can participate in. They make a good couple too when they join the figure skating event :-)

Obviously this way, with the Summer and Winter Olympics not falling in the same year, it keeps people talking about it more often. And when they were both in the same year, I think it was easier to overlook Winter, since the Summer Olympics are more popular.

That is awesome, but it looks home-made. It have seen a similar version of the advert, but the middle was edited differently.\n\nStill a very good advert, very skillful players indeed.\n\nRESPECT

Not as bad as Canadian hockey fans felt at the Olympics, but still pretty bad. I had my pro-Swiss answer deleted on YA France; it was considered "not an answer" but it was, I think they're touchy! LOL.\n\nOh and thanks for deleting the Sweden question.\n\nHopp Schwiiitz!

"I got to party and socialize at an Olympic Event."\nBode Miller sucks.  So much time and money and effort by folks involved with USA Mens Skiing wasted so Bode could party and "do it on his own terms". Which resulted in what?\nNothing.  Whoever made the decision to let this Bozo ski should be fired.\nA slap in the face to everyone who trains and puts all they have into their event. Ulitimately, not what the Olympics are about.  Yes, Bode Miller does suck.

It's one of my favorite winter olympic sports,  especially the short track stuff that Apollo was in.  But I don't actually pay attention to it other than during the Olympics

It's really fun to watch, I don't even need to understand the rules and everything.\nClick on the link below to read all about it.

OK,that made me laugh out loud, but I hope you are prepared for the backlash of angry yahooligans who are animal lovers. But still, that is making me crack up. In answer to your question, Yes it will be an Olympic sport, right after they add dolphin netting and whaling.

I love the Olympics, it is something that for me shows the best of humanity. The world comes together, representing all nations and all walks of life, and in a friendly atmosphere competes as equals. \n\nWhen I heard it was coming to London, I was over the moon (until the very next day) and I still am. The Olympics is about more than money, we are privileged that it is coming to us and that the eyes of the world will be on our capital and our culture and everything that makes me proud to be British to celebrate something that, as mentioned above, I think is the best.\n\nI wont go as far as to say sod the cost, but I think the values it has are too easily overlooked when money comes into it. When you think of how much money is pissed away on welfare fakers who cant be assed to work as just one example, I think it is a small price to pay for greatness and for being a part of something that really matters

For some people I can see how it would spoil the results.  But if you're a true fan of the Olympics then it doesn't matter.  It's unfortunate that they can't be held on our continent every time but there are other people in the world besides Americans. (That may shock some of you to learn!)  But we can all look forward to the next winter olympics that will be held in Canada.
