My favorite winter sport is ice hockey, although I am not much of an ice skater myself. As I have so much trouble just skating around an indoor ice rink on my own, I have a deep admiration fro the men who play professional ice hockey and not only do they skate like mad men across the ice, they also chase and whack a small black puck, shooting it with a deadly accuracy into a 6 foot wide net guarded by a large, well padded man wielding a big stick.
I was able to watch some of the Olympics hockey over the weekend, as well as some of the luge events, the downhill skiing and even curling. I’m not interested at all in the figure skating, but a lot of the other winter sports are interesting to watch the competitors and to listen to the announcers as they make comments and describe the unfolding events.
