They are because a majority of AMericans couldn't care less about the sports in the Winter Olympics.  Some will watch the figure skating and hockey fans will watch hockey, but that's about it.\n\nI personally find nothing interesting about the Winter Olympics at all.  Summer Olympics I love, but not winter.

ICE HOCKEY IS A MANLY GAME LIKE FOOTBALL. CRICKET IS KINDA GIRLISH ONE. ITS NO DOUBT THAT ONE HAS MORE FASHINATION TOWARDS ICE-HOCKEY OR AMERICAN FOOTBALL OR RUGBY THAN CRICKET. I GUESS INDIA DOESNT HAVE ENOUGH INFRASTRUCTURE FOR EXCITING GAMES LIKE THOSE SO THEY ARE MORE INTO CRICKET.\nANYWAY INDIANS OUTSIDE INDIA, WHO UNDERSTANDS THE MANLY CHARM OF THOSE GAMES, DEFINETLY ARE ALSO CRAZY ABOUT THEM.

Not this year as it isn't a Winter Olympic sport.However, it is listed as an official sport on the Olympics website so it will be part of the Olympics in 2008.

The 2006 Commonwealth Games men's hockey competition was held in Melbourne from March 17 to March 24. 10 countries took part, and India finished 6th in the competition, ahead only of Trinidad & Tobago, Scotland, Canada and South Africa.\n\nUnder K. P. S. Gill, NINE coaches have been hired and then fired for poor performance. Never once has Gill or his sidekick Jyothikumaran taken moral responsibility and resigned from their posts.\n\nIn 2005, India finished 5th out of 7 teams in the Azlan Shah Cup in Malaysia, 7th out of 8 teams in the Rabobank Mini World Cup, and 6th and LAST in the Champions Trophy in Chennai.\n\nWhen will we see the likes of Munshi, Gill and sundry being sacked for not performing THEIR duties? When will our sports be freed from their vice-like grips?\n\nThe powerful sports administrators are, however, just a part of the bigger problem. Indian sport will not start breathing with life and energy until the government steps in, streamlines the system and brings accountability into the frame. It's only then that the parents will encourage their kids to play games and the corporates will pump in their money.\n\nUntil then, these officials will keep ruling and ruining our beautiful sports which was once the pride of India.\n\nLet's not expect anything in DOHA, maybe some DUA'A will help.
