Winter Olympics Interest?

I'm waiting for this guy to make a return.

I love the Winter Olympics, but agree with TMQ on the need for variety. I have nothing against figure skating, but don't make me watch a figure skating exhibition over ski jumping or bobsled or something. To me the Olympics, Summer or Winter, are like a buffet and I want to see a little of everything. When I was a kid I remmber watching a lot of Olympic boxing, but now they'll do a gymnastics exhibition in prime time on the nework and make boxing FINALS PPV or put it on in the middle of the night or something.

EDIT: By the way TMQ, It seems I accidently dinged you when I meant to give good rep. I don't think I can correct that so my apologies.

For the most part the Winter Olympics leave me cold.

Ice Hockey is a highlight.

Other than that there are just too many beauty contest events that are at the heart of the Winter version.

As its past sweeps on the other channels wife and I end up renting loads of movies or just going out.

(This year though its packing for the move - so movies it is).

I think the new (to the Olympics) snowboardcross, where 4 of them race on the course at the same time, should be a good event to watch.
