It is (I know this for sure, because I am going there this summer) happening in British Columbia, Canada. More specifically, Vancouver, and the surrounding areas. There are numerous mountains for the downhill (skiing and snowboarding) events to take place at. The indoor events (ice skating, curling, etc.)- as well as the opening/ closing ceremonies- will happen right in Vancouver. I'm not sure where the nordic, and other outdoor events will happen, but probably just outside the city. They have really great facilities everywhere, so even though they have a lot of work to do, they already have a great head start. Also, I know from experience, the village at Whistler/ Blackcomb are great "tourist" attractions, and there is a great deal to do right in Vancouver.

I love watching curling on TV - I even taped it during the Olympics so I could watch the US in their bronze medal match.  I've never played it, the nearest place to play is like 200 miles away, but I find the game really interesting in a quirky way.  It seems like bowling on ice - the kind of game that you could still play even after a couple of beers!!!

Figure skating is a sporting event in which individuals, mixed couples, or groups perform spins, jumps, and other moves on ice skates, often to music. There are international competitions for figure skating, such as the World Championships, and figure skating is also an official event in the Winter Olympics. \n\nThe winter Olympic events include:\n\n* singles for both men and women;\n\n* couples skating with a couple consisting of a man and womn; and\n\n* ice dancing with a couple  requiring more choreography.

I think the winter olympics were pretty good, not the best I've seen, but still very interesting seeing new countries winning medals. What I was a little disappointed about was the performance of Bode Miller. He was portrayed to be very good by the media, but then screwed up in most of his events.

because there are (feelslike) 1000 sports for summer but winter needs stupid stuff to fill in time. I love snowboard but I think its not olympic, Maybe just slalom.  plus its hard to include,more, sports that are judged subjectivly like figure skating.

Much prefer the summer olympics... but have been watching certain events (i.e. hockey, skeleton, speed skating)

First of all, I'm glad to see that somebody else besides me would prefer the olympics to be a sporting event, and not a biography on obscure athletes.  I can't stand to watch the olympics, because they never actually show any sports.\n\nBut... to answer your questions, it won't be all focused on ice skaters in mini skirts.  There will also be advertisements every 4.5 minutes.

Of the sports in the Winter Olympics, I have to admit that skeleton bob is quite mad, but not the maddest. I think that honour has to go to Speed Skiing in Albertville in 1992. It was only a demonstration sport, but the winner was clocked at 212kph (not a sensible speed by any stretch of the imagination)

Apparently triathlons only take place during the Olympics.  thanks Mike...  Yahoo! has yet to add many sports to the list.  Skate/Snow boarding, Tri's, running.  None of these seem to have made.  But curling and snookering seem to have a large fan base.  Come on Yahoo! guys, think!!!!

I like watching the snow fall..how bright and beautiful it is when it is fresh fallen.  I HATE the cold, I hate having to wear layers upon layers of clothes just to stay warm!
