Who Is Watching the Olympics - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

As someone who has little to no interest in sports, I have not been watching the Olympics. Though I did get a chance to see Peter Gabriel's heartfelt rendition of John Lennon's "Imagine".

I saw a part of the skiing yesterday and the Russia-Canada hockey game today.

I watch it every year. I have my VCR set for when I will not be here so I can watch it later.

My husband's been watching them. I'm half watching them.

I don't really have much interest in the Winter Olympics. I think the majority of Winter Olympic watchers probably come from places like Colorado and Utah, where people actually give a damn about those kinds of sports. The only thing that would get me interested, is if Tanya Harding ran in during the ice skating competition, and started hitting people with a club.

I'd probably watch that.

How about a trivia question now about the Winter Olympics? This can very well serve as the 1 million dollar question on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" as I think it will stump most contestants. The "50:50" lifeline will unlikely be of much use as that usually leaves the biggest distraction to the right answer.

Which of these countries has never won an Olympic gold medal in men's ice hockey?

A. Sweden
B. Finland
C. Czech Republic
D. Great Britain

Finland. Final answer - where's my money!? That said, I'm not much of fan of sport except for some of the NHL playoffs, the Summer and Winter Olympic Games.

Incorrect.

Zebra3 is correct. The answer is Finland. Few people could believe that Great Britain actually won a gold medal in men's ice hockey. That was way back in 1936.

They won gold with Canadian players by defeating Team Canada in the finals.
