So does anyone really care about the winter Olympics 2010? I would have to say yes and no. A lot of it I believe depends on the event itself. Some people like the bobsleigh at the 2010 winter Olympics, some like the luge, others get into the figure skating at the 2010 winter Olympics and some people will actually get into curling at the 2010 winter Olympics… It all depends on personal interest. But that being said, some of the sporting events are so boring that I don’t know how anyone can get into it, for example;

How can anyone get excited about watching cross-country skiing? Or what about watching curling? How many people can really get fired up about watching curling. But all and all most of the winter Olympics 2010 events can be exciting. Here is my list of the most exciting events of the 2010 winter Olympics:

(1) I would have to say that figure skating is by the most exciting because of the precision, skill and drama involved. (2) Number two would I would have to give the nod to the bobsleigh at the 2010 winter Olympics as the second most exciting sport. Why? Because of the speed involved I find to be rather exciting. (3) For number three I would have to go with speed skating. Speed skating is exciting because of the skill and speed involved. (4) Number four would have to be alpine skiing. Once again this has to be considered of the most exciting Olympic sporting events due to the speed and skill involved. (5) Coming in at number five would have to be the luge. Once again this is exciting due to the speed involved. (6) Well which sport is number six… Possibly ice hockey… But the problem with watching ice hockey on T.V. is keeping track of the puck. The exceptions to this of course was the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team “miracle on ice” that upset the formidable Soviet Union hockey team.

So then going back to the original question and premise; Does anyone really care about the winter Olympics 2010… Well once again it depends on the event and the celebrity “star status” of the athlete. To cite you an example I like to watch the short track speed skating event because I am a big fan of Apolo Anton Ohno. But overall I believe that the 2010 winter Olympics is worth watching!
