  • I enjoyed watching the men’s bobsled racing. They are such exciting races to watch. I do not enjoy seeing the collisions, but did love the U.S.A. gold medal. Our team was amazing; it was thrilling to watch.

  • My favorite part was watching my son watch the hockey game—the last game between Canada and the United States. It was great because of the enthusiasm that he had for the sport and competition. And even though the United States lost, I was happy that Canada won because it was in Vancouver. It would have been a good celebration for us, but it was more special for the Canadians, I think. It is their sport. It’s like baseball for the United States.

  • I didn’t watch a whole lot this year, but my favorite part of the Olympics has always been watching the lesser-known sports that you never get to see otherwise. That, and rooting for Ryan Miller and the U.S.A. hockey team!
