    Wow, poll results heavily in favor of summer olympics. I assume that's probably due to American dominance in the summer olympics, or maybe because basketball is available and other team sports. Gymnastics is always a crowd pleaser. I picked winter olympics primarily because of Hockey. There is more competition internationally for Hockey vs. basketball. The medal race is always a bit more dynamic. Also, you still have all the figure skating, speed skating, and skiing events. But I like both of them.

    I'm glad you like them, and I don't want to change your mind, but....
    imho, judged sports suck even more than highly refereed sports. So, I'm not a fan of skating, and the networks HIGHLIGHT skating.

    I hope the Olympics go ahead safely, because I like Australia’s squad.

    Negatory......Heal took on the Dream Team all by himself and lit them up! Squared off with Barkley, he was a beast!

    Move the games to Oregon and limit the fans. They can play soccer and basketball in Portland, Gymnastics in Corvallis, Track and Field in Eugene.
    How big is the pool at the Mac club?

    No chance! There's way too much money invested in the Olympics.

    They did just announce that only Japanese citizens can attend the games as fans.

    For whatever its worth, Intel is a major sponsor of the games and we're being told they're still happening...

    I know I'm happy about the time slot I won in the lottery with her this time around. I hope they don't cancel them!
