    My favorite Winter Olympic sport is Snowboard Big Air.
    The mix of power, precision, progression, and mental control is unreal. Every run feels like watching the limits being pushed in real time - one mistake and it's over, one perfect execution and you're watching history happen. That balance between risk and control is what makes it so addictive to watch.

    I love watching the Downhill and Super-G, my dad grew up doing events like that and passed the love for competitive skiing down to me. Controlled chaos!

    Curling! It harder than it works, takes some coordination to not fall while also landing the perfect spot!

    My favorite Winter Olympic sport is ice hockey. I like it because it's very fast and exciting. The players need a lot of skill, teamwork, and strategy. I also enjoy the energy of the games and how intense they can be.

    That's actually why I picked up the record at the orchestrator's store.

    Is that the one where they have to ski and then shoot and they get a penalty lap if they miss? That is awesome if so!

    It's hard to pick a favorite! For reasons I don't entirely understand, I am SUPER into the Olympics. There are very few events I won't watch. So... my top winter sports at this exact moment would have to be - figure skating, speed skating, and bobsled.

    I'm with you, Emily - I think it's because these are sports you don't get to see typically and the world representation is so cool. I just love the Olympics (winter or summer!)

    My favorite sport in the Winter Olympics is hockey; in fact, like another member of the community, I also bought the Genesys puck from the store.

    I'll have to agree with several others here. I'm not a huge hockey fan in general, but I do enjoy watching hockey during the Olympics. I recently watched the Netflix documentary on the 1980 United States team and it was pretty well done. I sort of do the same thing w Summer Olympics and soccer. Overall I also enjoy Hockey and most of the Skating / Skiing events. 

    Thanks!

    Cross‑country skiing , it's incredibly demanding and pushes athletes to their absolute physical limits, which makes it exciting to watch.

    There's so many to pick from to have just one favourite. I like the Bobsledding because you can find countries competing now that don't commonly have snowy winters, so its nice to see the diversity of nations compete.  I think it's a good transition sport for those who were track sprinters. It's all about powering that sled as fast as you can before everyone scrambles to get into it for the ride of their life 😬.

    That's a good point about the warmer countries! The one thing I don't get is the double bobsled - like what is the person on the bottom doing? LOL

    That's the thing about bobsled...the driver is really the only skill position on the team. Everyone else is there mainly to push real fast at the start then hang on for dear life during the ride :-)

    Good Day Community

    My favorite Winter Olympic sport is snowboarding.

    I started snowboarding 2 years ago and really enjoy it.  I am not good at all, but have so much fun doing it.

    My favorite Winter Olympic sport is  figure skating
     
    It's a mesmerizing blend of athleticism, artistry, and storytelling-skaters execute jaw-dropping jumps like triple axels while syncing to music and expressing emotion through spins and lifts. The creativity reminds me of coding elegant APIs: precise, powerful, and beautiful when it all flows. Plus, the drama of live performances under pressure is pure thrill!

    And it's such an unforgiving sport. You can have a perfect skate and then one slipup and you've just lost the medal. It's crazy competitive!

    The men's and women's mogul competition. I love skiing and I love skiing the moguls, but the way these world class athletes attack the lines are incredible. I'm in decent shape, but I'm in absolute awe of their conditioning!

    My favorite sport is snowboard halfpipe.
    There's something electrifying about watching athletes launch themselves high above the pipe, twisting and flipping in ways that seem to defy gravity. It's not just about speed or precision - it's about creativity, style, and pushing the limits of what's possible on snow. Every run feels like a mix of athleticism and artistry, and the crowd energy is always incredible.
