I was surprised to see some less known and lesser popular winter sports being as beneficial for your health as the most popular skiing. What is your favorite winter sport that you follow in Olympics?

Drinking coffee and eating grilled cheese sandwiches.

Speed skaters are pretty healthy, too. But you’re right... XC skiing.

It doesn’t get any more rigorous than ice hockey. Between the finesse, the stamina and the physical abuse, it’s a combination of skills that makes for some great exercise.

Biathlon (skiing and shooting) is pretty cool.

Almost the entire Winter Olympics is BS. Does anyone really care about Curling or Halfpipe Snowboarding? And these are no longer amateurs but people who dedicate their lives to this stuff.

I was a speed skater, wish I was a downhill skier, and am glad I wasn’t a cross-country skier.
Curling is the sport of the future.

I really like the curling game. It's addictive. I played a table-top version in a bar a few years back that I would play for hours and hours over frosted mugs of beer.
On the bigger game you see at the Olympics, I think it takes a lot of skill. I also like those guys who broom in front of it. That is a nice thing for them to do for the guy who pushed it.

Honestly, what’s not to like about women’s biathalon. :)

No, perhaps if I did it would have been more interesting?

Downhill skiing gets you hurt below the waist. Snowboarding gets you hurt above the waist. Speed kills. Hockey gets you hurt all over. Curling causes neuron wasting disease.
Nordic skiing is pretty safe as is snowshoeing. Practical too for those of us who live in snow country.
“Surfing” Free Republic is the safest winter sport by far.

Actually curling looks like it requires a great deal of fitness...surely sweeping that broom gets the blood flowing...I’ve gone skiing only once...not much exercise there...just squat and start accelerating until you get out of control and land on your butt.
I’ve gone skating several times but never got past skating a few feet.
To: Armen Hareyan
Figure skating. Especially when the skater’s top un-snaps.
