Vancouver 2010 (I was 5 sure, but it was my first Olympics and I remember bits from it… plus that men’s hockey gold medal match with the Crosby OTG was an iconic one… I’ve watched at least 10 times since then)
Tokyo 2020 (unpopular opinion, because I know it will be at the bottom of a lot of people’s lists with COVID limiting the crowds, but I liked the venues the most out of any recent summer Olympics by a decent amount)
Paris 2024 (historic Olympics for Canada, 9 golds and 27 medals, and some all time moments, Mel/Brandie the main one)
Pyeongchang 2018 (Our most successful Olympics with 11 golds and 29 total)
Beijing 2022 (Big Air venue was quite possibly one of the worst looking Olympic venues in recent times, and even though we won 26 medals only 4 of them were gold, plus a lot of them we were lucky to win)
Rio 2016 (great memories of watching Oleksiak’s gold, and both of DeGrasse’s battles against Bolt)
Sochi 2014 (Dufour Lapointe’s and Jennifer Jones’s golds in moguls/curling are still some of my all time highlights to this day)
London 2012 (honestly I can’t say I remember much besides Phelps… but we only won one gold medal so…)
But obviously, there are no strict rules here, if you want to name all the games, not only the ones you actually watched, feel free to do that, that's up to you. If we have +20 posts here i'll be happy heh.

Purely for scientific interest....
Dutch speed skating world champion Joy Beune has broken records after posing for the cover of Playboy magazine for the first time in her homeland.
Not the first winter sports person to do this, Janine Flock was in playboy, and someone less well known as well.

That’s good news. There’s been no mention of the team in the local papers at all. If they go, I think they’ll be the first Philippine athletes to represent the country in a team event at the World Games.
