Summer or Winter Olympics - which do you prefer? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

catlover79 · 08-14-2008, 08:51 PM

I say Winter Olympics all the way. I enjoy the figure skating, skiing and the luge. My sister loves curling.

I just don't seem to get into the Summer Olympics.

Mr. Television · 08-14-2008, 08:52 PM

Neither. lol I've never been a big Olympic watcher. lol

Brieannas21 · 08-14-2008, 08:54 PM

I love both, it's the only time you can get me to watch sports on TV for hrs on end and not complain about it. LOL

HuntingtonM15 · 08-14-2008, 09:10 PM

Winter by far

catlover79 · 08-14-2008, 09:15 PM

I remember in my final semester of college in early 2002 watching Sarah Hughes' incredible performance that got her the gold medal. I don't think I've ever seen a finer ice skating performance.

Summer. I'm not too into winter sports. One can only watch so much skiing and the like before it all starts to look alike.

catlover79 · 08-14-2008, 09:31 PM

^ That's funny, that's the way I feel about the summer sports!

Tweety · 08-14-2008, 10:23 PM

I'd say summer.

I can really only watch the figure skating in the winter olympics...well, I can watch the hockey too, I guess.

Summer games, I like basketball (which really should be a winter sport), gymnastics, swimming & diving, volleyball, boxing, track & field... most of the major summer stuff, I've played myself... but I've never gone skiing or ice skating, even though i grew up in New Jersey (not that NJ has a lot of skiing, I just mean that i grew up in a place that actually has winters... My senior class trip in high school was to a ski resort in Vermont, so I didn't even bother going. I live in Florida now, not much in the way of winter sports down here)...

I think I just relate to the summer olympic sports a lot better than the winter games.

But both the summer and winter Olympic games have plenty of so-called "sports" that I can do without.

Summer, but the only thing I watch is basketball.

sara · 08-14-2008, 11:44 PM

The Summer Olympics, but I love to watch both.

DLevine2 · 08-15-2008, 03:40 PM

I would say Summer Olympics. Because I enjoy watching the swimming, beach volleyball, and the track and field. But I enjoy watching the Winter Olympics too.

Brian Damage · 08-15-2008, 03:58 PM

I like both, but I prefer Summer.

PunkyP0WER · 08-15-2008, 04:08 PM

winter - i like the ice skating

Schmoopie · 08-15-2008, 04:09 PM

I tend to watch the Winter Olympics more, but I guess I like them both equally. I LOVE couples figure skating (Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue), so I will always watch them whenever they are competing), but that's about the only sport I'll watch. As for summer Olympics, I've been watching occasionally; I've seen several swimming events, a basketball game between China and the US, and a couple of rowing events, but so far that's been it. I tend to be more busy in the summer and don't get to watch as much.

I like both, but I watch much more of the winter olympics. It's nice to have a fire going and sit down and watch snowboarding, skiing, the luge, and iceskating.

As far as summer olympics go, I mainly tune in for gymnastics, swimming, and diving.
