Title: What are your favorite Olympic WINTER Games Sport competitions and Moments?
Post by: ChrissyRyan on February 20, 2018, 07:50:26 PM
What are your favorite Olympic WINTER Games Sport competitions?
And What have been your favorite 2018 Winter Olympics moments so far?

If appropriate for your favorite winter sport competitions, also state classifications, such as Womens, Mens, Mixed, Pairs, or Teams.  But if you like all competitions in one large category, such as all of the speed skating competitions, simply say Speed Skating.

You have no limit on how many sports you list, or of your favorite moments of the 2018 Winter Olympics Games so far, and you can for sure post multiple times during the 2018 Winter Olympics games.

We will start off with my favs: All skiing (including skiing with other challenges such as shooting), bobsled, skeleton, half-pipe, and figure skating.

Favorite moments so far: Germany and Canada Men's Bobsled tie for the gold medal.
Watching the USA and Jamaican Women's bobsled runs, and the Women's Half-Pipe.

The closing ceremony :D

Admittedly I am somewhat involved in the Olympics (Television Part) and I am 5 weeks into 90+ hour weeks, so closing ceremony means I am done and can go home...

Besides that: snowboarding and ice skating... I really want one of the sparkling ice skating dresses...

Another favorite moment:  Women's freestyle skating finals.  A Canadian earned the third place broze medal, and two skaters from Russia earned the top two medals.  These three lady skaters had excellent final performances.

Great to watch!

I love the Australian girl  Kilani Caine she was so happy with her performance in the skating freestyle she was just beaming, she ended up in 16 place. SIL brother Mike Barnett competed in 1992 finished in 7th in the javelin. Trained the 2008 decathlete Bryan Clay for the Gold.
