Vancouver 2010.

 

The best Olympics in history.

Winter Olympics peaked in Pyeongchang (following a couple of sub-par editions). It's all downhill from there.

Also pity there no multiple-options choices in this poll, because I would pick in 2nd Lillehammer 1994, what a great games it was, with fantastic atmosphere, great sport moments and first ever for 1 year after the split-up of TCH (Also the first ever SVK ice Hockey international major tournament as independent country)

Unforgetable moments with Peter Šťastný returning from deflection in Canada and finally playing before his retirement as captain of his nation

 

the first moments when the whole new country began to feel proud

I have picked Calgary 1988 because that was the very first olympics (summer or winter) I have watched, staying home with a broken leg as a kid due to a crazy skiing accident, and I have been totally hooked since :-)

Lillehammer 1994...and not only because they were the most successful Winter Games ever for Italy...

 

the overall atmosphere was amazing, by far the best of all times...especially in the outdoor events and at the Viking Ship (speedskating)...

 

even the Ice Hockey Gold Medal match between Sweden and Canada was one of the best hockey matches ever played...for sure, the best ever played by (still) non-NHL players...

Vancouver 2010, there was some magic about it. Being Canadian seeing a record performance also helped lol

 

PyeongChanf 2018: I got to live these games and gotta say everyone should experience one if they can.

You are old enough to have witnessed the first winter olympics?

 

Of all the winter games i followed, Vancouver certainly were the best.

If there are one Olympics which feel magical on every existing video/picture, it's Lillehammer 1994.
