... sorry, I don't understand some of the options (must be a furrin thing).
I like the Winter Olympics because there is so little pressure on the UK athletes to win anything. No reason to be disappointed when we don't.
The majority of sports are fast and furious, and there is more potential for spectacular mistakes. It's not schadenfreude - just if someone is going to take a tumble anyway, it's more interesting if they do it figure skating than running the 800m.
Also there is no coverage of sun-drenched stadiums (stadia?) when I've slogged to & from work in the rain.
