    you guys forgot about the Curling...best WO sport ever!

    random aside - I still have very fond memories of playing Winter Games on the C64 with my brother when we were kids. Was a pleasure to play it at LAne Crawford the other day on a $58k machine...we last played it 40+ years ago but amazingly still remembered how to play it on saturday!

    Olympic hockey tournament with the NHL players is my favorite sports competition. 2010 in Vancouver was EPIC!

    With Omicron there must be a good chance of it being cancelled still.

    China already have their own version of the Olympics, the National Games, held like the Olympics, once every 4 years. Instead of countries, you have provinces competing against each other in a variety of sports.

    If no (or few) countries turn up for the Winter Olympics, well, I guess you can think of it as a winter version of China's National Games.
