I know I'm biased, but I find the winter games far more exciting though. Even if you take out hockey.

I mean watching a skier fly down the hill at dangerous speeds is far more exciting than watching 8 laps in a pool.

Winter games seem to be far more 'extreme' than the summer ones and that makes me happy.
i just like the creativity of the winter sports. i mean anyone can figure out how to make swimming or running a competition, but for someone to think "I wonder what would happen if i flung myself down an icy tube headfirst on a piece of plywood with skates taped to the bottom", that's something special
