I like the bobsleigh as well. It looks spectacular. And it was the source of one of Britain’s rare Winter Olympics gold medals, albeit “before my time”.
I expect I will watch some of the cross country skiing events. Although watching the competitors hauling themselves up slopes via their skis and ski poles is exhausting just to watch.
I like watching the classic speed skating but I don’t really like the short track events. The latter are undeniably exciting but it looks to me like the outcome is often down to luck.
There was a British girl a few years ago who crashed out of at least two finals and was mocked on social media. But to my mind she could easily have won a gold medal or two with a bit of luck.
