A question for any ice-skaters out there

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382107) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Feb

The subject is figure-skating but Vince’s photo is of Thai boxers. Both very athletic sports. I’m watching the men’s figure skating and one thing, among many others, especially puzzles me. I think there is/are myLotters who...

Is anyone watching the Winter Olympics? :)

Valentina @valherma00 (3829) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 8 Feb

Or just saw an opening ceremony? I didn't expect Mariah Carey to sing there (spoiler alert, sorry). I did watch it. I'm so glad that Laura Pausini, a singer from my youth sang the Italian national anthem. It's also interesting to...

Australia has a big team at the Winter Olympics currently being held in Italy. Some are surprised to find Australians performing on the ice and snow but Australia actually has more snow that Switzerland. The construction of a...

Started watching the winter Olympics already. Saw moguls qualifiers and the team competition for ice skating—men, rhythm, and pairs). Also watched a game of curling. Interesting game to me. Wonder why these games (and others) were...

Will you be watching the Beijing Winter Olympics?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52144) • Staten Island, New York 25 Jan 22

The Beijing Winter Olympics are coming up February 3rd. I am very excited. Due to the pandemic and the postponement of the Tokyo Summer Olympics I think this is the first time that the summer and winter games are so close to each...

In addition to all of the other things I mentioned that I enjoy, I do enjoy sports to a certain degree. I remember when my husband and I were dating; and we would go to the Cleveland Barons Hockey games. That was such fun. The...

Goodbye, Winter Olympics

Kelli M @spiderdust (14756) • San Jose, California 25 Feb 18

I will miss the curling. I will miss the hockey. I will miss watching the skeleton competition (while wondering how the athletes keep from screaming the whole way down). I will miss Johnny Weir's "Hunger Games" inspired...

The Winter Olympics is Good Entertainment

L. Jenkinson @MarymargII (12422) • Toronto, Ontario 12 Feb 18

That is, of course if you can follow or even hear about what's being scheduled at what time. I find they are remiss in informing the public or at least mapping out the times that events are on. Many are repeated and if you don't...

Russia not represented as a country in winter Olympics in South Korea

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52144) • Staten Island, New York 12 Feb 18

I love the winter Olympics. I was shocked to hear that Russia is not represented as a country at these Olympic games in South Korea (because of the doping scandal at the last Olympic games in Sochi). It is an embarrassment for...

Olympics....Are they interesting ?

s sivasubrahmanyam @shivamani10 (11035) • Hyderabad, India 9 Aug 16

Whether they are summer Olympics or Winter Olympics the symbol will always be five rings interlinked. A opening ceremony. Some singer will make a theme song. Marching by the teams holding the flags of their respective countries....

Do you enjoy watching the Winter Olympics?

youless @youless (114117) • Guangzhou, China 8 Jun 16

To be frank, I am much more familiar with the Summer Olympics. I almost don't watch the Winter Olympics since the sports are not very popular here. And since I live in the south, there is no snow here. So I have less passion to...

On the first day of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, I did the Ziptrek across Robson Square and I shot a video of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzzwUdXYHbM . Have you ever tried anything like that?

Screaming olympic coaches

olisaur @olisaur (1922) • United States 20 Feb 10

For those of you who are actually watching the 2010 winter olympics, do you ever notice the coaches screaming for their athletes in the background? For example, when Lindsey Vonn went on her gold medal-winning run- just before...
