  1. I would like to see the biathalon, because they have to ski through slopes, and at certain stops, the must shoot small targets the size of a little bit bigger than a quarter. Fastest time wins.

  14. Two nights ago I was watching the halfpipe and there was some pretty good snowboarding people, but even though we didn't win that event we still hung in there. It is my favorite because I love snowboarding. I don't have a snowboard, but I use my sled as a snowboard sometimes. One time it was icey when I used me sled as a snowboard in Feb. like two years ago anyway I had a scave on my nose and chin and the same week I went to school and people asked what happened and I said, :A snowboarding acident".

  18. I have watched the Winter Olympics, and my favorite event is a tie between the Women's Downhill skiing, or the Men's Halfpipe. I like the Men's Halfpipe because I think it's more exciting than the Women's because they go higher in the air. I like the Women's Downhill skiing because my favorite skiers are Lindsey Vonn and Julia Mancuso. They are really interesting, though I hate to see people fall because I don't like when others get hurt.

I've been watching the Winter Olympics for the last couple of days.Some of the things people can and will do is amazing!The skiers were fast going down the slopes.The snowboarding competition was...WOW.So many tricks to do on a piece of wood with latches.Even the figure skaters had a needs a lot of strength to do.There are also other events that I saw, but I am running out of room to comment.I hope I get to see more.

  49. I have not watched much of the olympics but of what i did see, i liked the biathelon the most because you have to ski through big slopes. They also have to hit targets at certain stops.If i were to compete in the olympics i would probably want to be on the biathelon team because i have always wanted to ski or it would also be pretty cool to snowboard.

  55. I have watched the Olympics a little, I watched skiing. I was so into it I didn't want to leave the room or change the channel. It was so cool you didn't know who was coming in first. One time is was going back and forth between the first and second contestant. Then to see their exprssions on their faces they were so excited. For the others they have tried their best and worked hard. The Olympics are amazing.
