Meanwhile we've got hockey, the biathalon, curling, the luge, bobsled, speed skating, cross country skiing, ski jumping (I love watching those guys fly through the air, even a bad run is impressive). There's tons of great stuff going on, but the pretty sport the media guys sell to women is typically F'd up. I say who cares. It's just figure skating. Women can like sports without sequins, they can even EXCEL at sequinles sports (the US women's hockey team rocks, they've never lost to a non-Canadian team and pretty regularly (last 8 in a row) smear Canada.
You can ignore the summer games if you want. I never liked them. The winter games though features some of the finest sports played on this planet (IMHO obviously), AND they're sport Americans usually aren't good at so they don't get broadcast here but once every four years. You're really missing out on something if you ignore the winters, winter sports have a really high level of grace and artistry that you just don't see elsewhere.
