Why are those guys sitting on each other on that tiny sled? What the hell are they doing with those brooms? And why does that skier have an assault rifle?
All valid questions for Winter Olympics novices. Personally, I look forward to an event when, once every four years, I get tremendously excited about sports I normally wouldn’t think about. I find myself screaming at the TV while some Swiss dude, who I had never previously heard of, does incredible things on a snowboard. I agonize over a figure skater who does the perfect routine, but misses the landing on her last twist. And, of course, there’s the hockey.
With so much confusion, so much drama and so many great stories, the Winter Olympics is a goldmine for internet commenters. Scroll down below to see what people have been saying as they try to figure it all out, and add your own Winter Olympics observations in the comments below!

The Steven Bradbury story is incredible. Struggling for over 18 years as a total amateur in an obscure sport ( in Australia at least ) over coming a potentially career ending horrific skating injury to finally represent his country. Got to be in it to win it!
As a native Michigander, I can confirm this. Sometimes we ice skate with the penguins and polar bears.
I think you are also describing us, the Canadians. Did you know we also ride Belugas to cross small water ways?

My husband is from Michigan. I laughed so hard at this that I disturbed his daily wrestling match with his pet polar bear.
Ok we did this in gym the other day and it was awesome. We roller skated around the gym 3 times then someone had to throw dodgeballs at tiny cones with wiffle balls and if you missed the balls the next skaters had to skate penalty laps based off of how many balls you missed you missed.
Biathlon is one of the few sports I like watching. I do think they should all have a rubber deer strapped to their backs, though. And maybe fend of a bear somewhere in the middle.
Just wait until the Paralympics. When the biathlon has 3 catgories; sitting, standing and vision impaired.
as a wisconsinite, i can say that all the michiganders are overrated and exaggerated
this is from the era when Olympians were drawn from the ranks of the military.
So Winter Olympics is marriage?? Oh you guessed it right.. I'm single as a Pringle..
No s**t! We're all in our 50's and we still can't get along.
Will Friedle was Ron's voice actor in Kim Possible! Good to see he hasn't gotten any less funny :D
and I don't even have the energy to pick up the remote on the other side of the couch.
I read somewhere that figure skaters have nice butts because of how they train.
With global warming as it is, Winter Olympic athletes are an endangered species!
My DVR is exploding because I'm recording everything so I don't miss a thing. Hubby is not amused.
I'm DVRing them AND streaming them at the same time!
