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!
For emphasis: you've got to be in it to win it. Showing up.

It takes A LOT OF TALENT AND SKILL not to fall. I mean, it happened to everybody but him!!! Kudos!!
To this day 'doing a Steven Bradbury' exists in our Australian vernacular. Meaning to achieve greatness by default. Classic
don't forget he was there, he was good enough to be there, its not a feeby
I remember seeing this on TV. Everyone wiped out on the corner and he cruised to the finish, friggin awesome!
I remember watching this and have always thought people didn't see it for what it was, EVERYONE else fell down, yet he managed to stay on his feet, how is that not deserving to win?? Not one other "top" athlete could do what he managed with ease, he could keep his balance and deserves every bit of that win, I applauded him then and stil do now, he adapted to the sudden change of the course in front of him and cruised through, the tortoise verses the hair springs to mind..
Bradbury! The hero that thought stuff it, these guys are too good but still won. Amazing
The agony of defeat just became the thrill of victory! You go dude!
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!
