Well, Biathlon has moved to the leading position in this voting...

Ice hockey fans, where are you? ;-)

And I haven't even voted yet. Since there's only one choice it will be biathlon. Alpine skiing & ice hockey round out the podium.

 

I'm pretty sure I might not watch some freestyle skiing events much unless there's nothing else on. Half-pipe & slopestyle scoring systems are a complete mystery to me after all those years and I only know someone does bad when he/she falls down

I never watch the Winter Olympics, but I'll force myself to follow the snowboard competition, or at least keep up with the results. And this might be a surprise for some people, since my favorite sports are artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, but I strongly dislike figure skating.

Short track speed skating has been always my favorite: fast, thrilling, and sometimes messy  

 

Figure skating (especially pairs) and snowboard cross are among the ones I have big interest in watching

[Fly_like_a_don 1,113]

I'll watch some of it live some after the games end. 

 

The one's I'll watch now 

Biathlon

Snowboarding ( PGS, Cross) 

Short Track 

Skeleton 

Bobsleigh 

Luge

Moguls 

Aerials

Alpine Skiing 

Cross Country Skiing Sprint Ind and Team, women's mass start 30km

 

I'll watch others maybe later on. But Figure Skating isn't something on my list even for future, pretty long and boring. Ice Hockey is another sport which I can't watch too much maybe 1 full match in 1 month that's it. Big Air, Ski Jumping all can be left out without any thoughts.

I'd say aerials or freestyle big air should be sports for you 

[orangeman 2,025]

This was so tough to answer.  If NHLers were here I'd say hockey just because it's always fun to see the best in the world compete against each other.  I'm still going to watch every game - men's and women's- but it's not as special.  

 

I love short track, have since it first arrived on the programme.  The new mixed relay will be very entertaining.  Same with freestyle and snowboard, always so much fun to watch (especially cross).  

 

But I ended up saying curling because while I was always a casual fan who would watch the playoffs of major events, I have recently become irrationally addicted to it.  I have been watching everything I can find from the past 20 years the last 2 or 3 months.  I cannot wait until Wednesday when the competition starts (even though I have a thing to go it, it'll be playing on my phone for sure).

Oh, these sports are "boring" to me be because they are basically one single trick and nothing else. Of course, the skill they perform is difficult, but it doesn't quite look spectacular to me given that some artistic gymnasts can perform three somersaults and two twists after a few steps on floor.  And that's just one out of 4+ tumbling passes in one apparatus.
