Downhill, Super G, slalom, Giant Slalom usually all go to Swedish or Austrian skiers The Nordic almost NEVER goes to americans (Finn's French or Austrian) The snowboard half pipe and x cross almost always go to americans (damn you jacobellis) but figure skating is all about the russians and chinese now Short track is a korean/us thing | ||

Summer has synchronised swimming... And it also has shooting (which you mentioned) | ||

 But Summer Olympics are generally the bigger event, both due to the fact that more countries can participate and due to the fact that it is more historically connected to the Olympics in Ancient Greece. | ||

And it also has shooting (which you mentioned) i agree that there are a few summer olympics i could do without, synchronized swimming is one of them. But even synchronized swimming is way harder than most Winter Sports. Staying put upside down in the water while timing yourself and others around you to be in congruent shapes is perhaps much harder than we give it credit for. i also really dislike Trampoline. Seriously, it's such a farce of a sport. but i just realized one of the biggest reasons i dislike the winter O is because so much of it comes down to subjective scoring. Sometimes two athletes show the same performance but receive different scores or one is slightly better than the other, but due to the human factor, the wrong one gets credit with a win. it's a bit gimmicky that way. | ||

When the summer olympics come on everyone hypes it up and talks about it cause its every 4 years yeh noe? whereas the winter is fun to watch and there is amazing talent yet its not as long as a hype imo so thats why i watch it but more or less go ehh.. when i see it haha a=D Sorry for double post. It's every 4 years for both... what're you talking about? When was the last Winter Olympics? Turino 2006, it is now 2010. 2010 -2006 -------- 4  Hope that helps... LOL. | ||
