2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver

Umm, I'm American and I do not think this year will be a snooze fest. Heck, I don't even know what that is! Who is saying it's going to be a snooze fest? I'd like to know. I typically don't watch the Olympics, no matter where they're being held. Sometimes I will watch for awhile but it's rare. I have too much to do to just sit and watch much TV. I don't watch much of anything, actually.

My question is what difference does it make that it's in canada? Why would that make it a snoozefest or any different than if it was held anywhere else? I don't watch the olympics too much unless I come across skating, but I don't make it a point to watch it. It don't matter where it is.

Oh I don't think they're a snoozefest! I love to watch many of the events. The ice skating competitions are my favorites, but I also like the luge and bobsled, some of the downhill ski racing, and several of the events that started as the x-games, such as snowboarding and snowmobile stunts. Sorry, I don't know exactly what they're called. I will definately have my television on for many hours during the two weeks!

I have such mixed feelings about these Olympics. I will watch and I hope this time we will actually see the Canadians compete. Usually we see nothing but the events where the Americans have a chance due to the American networks we watch here. I live across the pond from Vancouver and can't even afford to go see any of the games. And if I could afford it I couldn't get a ticket anyway as the government has bought up most of the tickets for there buddies who won't bother to show up anyways. I also have a problem with all our tax money going to fix the road to whistler where your average British Columbian doesn't travel. Forget the roads that are disintegrating in our small communites. Forget about the health car system suffering and the kids having the programs canceled at schools because there is no money. But yeah for the government so our drunken Premier and his buddies have a nicer road to go skiing at a place most of us can't afford to go too. Kick all the unwanted and homeless over to the island so no one from other countries can see them. Yeah I am bitter, but I'll tune in and watch!

They are never a snoozefest and I will be watching as much as I can, especially the skating. Go Patrick and Joannie! Virtue and Moir too! :-)

To be honest, I have always thought the Winter Olympics was a snooze-fest. Regardless of where it was held. This means, shock, that I won't be, as usual, watching and/or following the Winter Olympics. Also, most USA Citizens know where Vancouver, BC is because it's a nice place to ski when Vale, CO is overbooked. hehe

I love to watch the Olympics so for sure I will be glued to the television. I live in the US but think Canada is a great place to hold the 2010 Olympics. Just seems appropriate since the weather is so cold and snowy in that part of the country. Any Olympic events would never been a snoozefest for me. I am one dedicated woman who loves sports.

Morning cher....as the crow flies, I live 14 miles from all the venues in Vancouver and Richmond...about 30 miles from Whistler....but T.V. is where I will be at Olympic time! I am so "ruralized" that I get frustrated in the cities on normal days...so rather than pay from $500 to $5000, I will watch from the best seat in the house, my comfy chair...in my comfy living room! Other than NOT being able to say..."been there, done that"....I find the coverage (close-up) phenomenal on TV! And if the truth were to be known, my budget just will NOT allow that kind of outlay! YESGO CANADA GO!

The olympics were in Canada before and they were GREAT! We used to watch the Olympics on Canadian stations instead of American because if an American didn't get in the top 10, then we couldn't watch that sport on American TV. I'm a border person, so I can watch the Olympics on Canadian TV. I also thing the Canadian sports casters are "sports." I often get very fed up with unsportsmanlike broadcasters and switch to Canadian stations. I went to Vancouver before. Lovely. Love all the flowers everywhere. It is a gorgeous area. The people seem nice, too. I think many Americans don't know much about Canada. But as a border person and my ancestors came from Canada, it's an interesting country. Good luck and may every country do their best!
