Curling v. Figure Skating
Maybe the only sport in the Winter Games I truly despise is figure skating. I know a lot of people, especially women, love this event. But I can't stand it. It bores me and makes me mad. The costumes are ridiculous; the judging seems random; and it just seems more like ballet than something I would want to participate in. I prefer Curling, of all sports, to Figure Skating. Curling is kind of cool. It's like bowling, but with strategy. Chess on ice. And you can tell it's a game where after its over, folks go out for a beer. Figure Skating . . . are you kidding me? They probably go to their rooms and pout.

Lisa, biathalon is a great sport, maybe the most difficult sport in all the Olympics. Think about it: you run a marathon and then have to thread a needle. That is what biathletes do. And it has a history, albeit one in war.
Curling rules!! Got to admit, figuring out the rules is fun. I purposely did not look up the rules and since I don't usually hear the comentator very well (Captioning has been sub-par), it has really been a challenge. Still got to figure out why some guards are allowed to be taken out while others are replaced. This one has me stumped.
Bro, they get taken out if they are not in play. I think.
