Was watching luge last night on NBCSN just wanted the MSB opinion.

For me it's speed skating. The power and speed these people show is incredible. I compare it to the IAAF or the Swimming championships. Short track is also included.

The downhill is the greatest Olympic sport, bar none. It's amazing.

Solid thread. 3 of the 4 responses have said a team sport.

I guess I'll say skeleton and one man luge. That shite is dope. I like a lot of the skiing and snowboarding stuff as well, though.

Maybe I'm weird but I thoroughly enjoy the winter Olympics more so than summer. I watch damn near everything, I like the sliding sports the best. I do enjoy a good biathlon though.

Universal Sports has been airing a ton of the winter sports, it's been awesome for late night watching

Short track speed skating is so chaotic and fun to watch. Also enjoy watching all of the alpine skiing events.

This question perfectly encapsulates why the Winter Olympics is irrelevant. The only individual sport with any sort of prestige is figure skating and the audience of that sport skews heavily female. Outside of ice hockey, what is there for men to watch in the Winter Olympics?

Alpine skiing is the correct answer

Hockey, Luge, Bobsled, Ski Jump, Speed skating, all of the downhill skiing events, and Skull

Really, Winter is my favorite, i love a shite load of the events.

Only things i don't watch are the lame x-game crap and figure skating. Biathlon and Nordic Combined are boring.

Short-Track speed skating was exciting as shite when Opolo Ohno was really good. Like for real, that was standing up from your seat thru the whole race good. Crazy awesome to watch. You think everyone is gonna whipe out on every single turn. People pass like 5 guys in one turn. Its awesome.

Hockey is also pretty fun when the US plays Russia or Canada. Also, those snowboard races are pretty cool.

I must admit I like watching curling even though I don't quite know why.

However, the two man luge makes me a little uncomfortable. A pair of guys spooning for a mile on a sled at 70 mph just doesn't do it for me.

speed skating, luge/bobsled, and cross country skiing are favorites. But I'll watch anything, including figure skating.

I generally like the winter olympics more than the summer games overall. I love the bobsled, luge, and have a ton of respect for the cross country skiers. Might be the toughest olympic sport of all.
