The problem with the Winter Olympics is that so much of it doesn't seem like "sport". Luge, skeleton and the like just don't interest me at all. I agree that the jumps are "mind-boggling", but that also doesn't seem like a sport in the "fastest, strongest" sense. Heck, it looks stupid and not useful in combat; compare James Bond with XXX. The skating is beautiful, but this year was pretty disappointing. Not that I watched a lot. The games were boring enough to make me care about curling... but not a lot.
