So the Olympics are on right now, do you watch them on NBC, or whatever station you get them on? I haven't watched a single event yet, since I'm not really a fan of the winter games. Waiting for the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing. @_@

A little. Wish I could go to Torino... *sigh* Of course, my Italian's extremely dailectual (That a word? Well guess it is now...) and yeah.

Beijing? Urk... think I could learn Chinese in two years?

I was watching it yesterday. Today I was kinda busy. Anyway, I was watching the pairs figure skating and that girl who tried to do a quad landed so hard. It was devastating. *sniff* But I did see the debut of the Snowboard cross thing. I thought they already had that sport... hm... well anyway. The Snowboard Cross seems pretty cool, though it's kinda tight when you are just trying to get past like three people. XD I'd be like bumping into them. Well yeah, I usually watch the Olympics on NBC and such. I don't really flip between like 3 channels to catch all the events. Can't wait till the 2008 Beijing Olympics! My friend's cousin is going to be in it so I guess it's a reason to watch. Also it's in Beijing *azn pride*. So yeah. At least we have the most gold so far.

Yeah, the azn pride, plus, China actually does good in the summer games, unlike how they're doing right now. But that one Chinese skating pair who got a silver medal after falling horribly, kinda makes you think about how they're scored these days.

It's on channel one, which is the name of the actual channel, here.

I've watched the figure skating stuff and skeleton sledding.

Go New Zealand. w00t.

Meh, I prefer the summer games over the winter games (AKA not watching). Kinda weird considering I prefer winter over summer.

I don't watch, because there is no TV in the room the computer I use is in. So, I don't watch it, simple as that. My cousins tell me about it online in RO though.

The Winter Games don't appeal to me as much because it reminds me of the X Games and all the crazy stunts that they do there. I do watch the summer games though and can't wait for 2008 since Beijing is hosting it!
