    I've watched very little. Some of the men's figure skating final and about five runs on the men's combined.

      I haven't watched a single event. I normally watch a fair bit of the stuff, but I honestly can't be bothered

      I was only joking

        I love a lot of the winter events - ski jumping, luge, bobsled, slalom, some of the skating. But I haven't been watching much of it. This manufactured controversy is just wrong.

          We watch nearly every event. It takes us weeks/months, but we really enjoy the winter olympics.

            40 years ago we watched it every night, like most people.

            I have probably seen less than a total of 10 minutes this year, maybe 15.

              40 years ago they just showed the events, not all the bullshit human interest stories. Wide World of Sports.

                @mik said in I'm not watching the Olympics:

                Most of what we record is the non-prime time (we record that too, though) coverage, such as what is on USA or MSNBC or other NBC-related channels at night. Why I mention this is it provide a pretty raw broadcast of events without all the fluff.

                  The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                    When I can I watch curling and hockey. Don’t mind some of snow boarding events either - especially pipe and X-country.
