| CURLING FTMFW. In all seriousness though, sometimes. Although I'm a mediocre skier, I love skiing and love watching it. The Winter Olympic's is normally a little more progressive as well...more sports considered "extreme" sports included as the main events. I like them both equally. I just love the Olympics in general. Reply • Back to Top |
| Winter sucks. Seriously I can't Stand any of it except for the American hockey team and only if they are good Reply • Back to Top |
| I love the winter games (Skiing, Bobsled, speed skating - not short track, cross-country - it's actually pretty dramatic) but the broadcast is so ice staking centric for the female viewership (which I hate.) The summer Olympics are a better TV broadcast overall. Reply • Back to Top |
| Winter sports seem more elitist than Summer. It's like you need a ton of money to play them. I'm unfamiliar with most of the Winter games so Summer is by far my favorite of the two. Reply • Back to Top |
| I asked this question of some friends just last night, Most said Summer, I said Winter, but all agreed that Curling rocks, though they don't like Hockey, Bobsled, and Skiing events like I do. Reply • Back to Top |
| Short track speed skating is the tits. Reply • Back to Top |
| Not I. Winter is more Euro-centric, I don't like the wall-to-wall figure skating coverage, and I'm not really into "extreme" sports. That and it's harder to get into as someone from south Louisiana. Things like track and field translate a lot better (especially with SEC/LSU track success). Reply • Back to Top |
| I like summer better to watch, but I bet the Winter games would be more fun to see in person. Smaller venue, most events close together, snow. Reply • Back to Top |

Im like Jordan who posted earlier. I love all Olympics be in Winter or Summer. Probably prefer the summer though because just has so many different sports. However, Im definitely looking forward to Sochi. Looks like will be some great venues, Just hate the time difference that's why I cant wait to Summer Olympics where the time difference will be only 3 hours different from us in Mountain time zone.

| My favorite winter events (hockey and curling) I like more than any other summer events. But summer has such a variety, and I also think many more people (both domestic and world-wide) care about it, so that makes me want the U.S. to do better in it (therefore increasing my fandom further).

| I do, although I still like summer games too Reply • Back to Top |
| Yeah I would rather attend the winter but watch the summer on TV. Reply • Back to Top |
| No. Much prefer summer Reply • Back to Top |
| Summer. I don't watch the winter olympics besides maybe Hockey. Reply • Back to Top |
| Me, probably because they are sports more unfamiliar to me. It also fascinates me how the top 10 finishers in some of the ski events can all finish within .5 seconds of each other, yet the same ones consistently win. An insufficiently tucked elbow on one jump can totally frick people, etc. I also developed a major curling problem last winter Olympics. I was setting the DVR and shite. Reply • Back to Top |
