2010 - Winter Olympics, Vancouver

Who is going to be watching the winter olympics this year?

I occasionally ice skate (I was probably at my best at 10 years old) and my sisters are really good at figure skating, so I can't wait to see the skating. My mum also figure skated as a child.

Damn Australia only focussing on Cricket and Football!

I'm behind the US (Coming second so far) in the winter games. Australia isn't overly great at winter sports, but it's still great when we get a medal. Our country really lacks the infrastructure and climate to really give athletes enough training.

We still do alright with skiing and snowboarding.

It's all about the ice hockey...but snowboard cross and some of the ski events are pretty exciting too.
