There are also less ahtletes which gives you a real intimate connection to your favorite olympians. For every Michael Phelps in the summer games, there are about 10,000 other athletes who go largely unrecognized.

I can say this…While I wasn’t alive to see it, the Miracle on Ice is the biggest thing in Olympic History and, let’s not forget great stories such as Dan Janzen redeeming himself in 1994 after his fall in Calgary in 1988 and sisters death or, Bode Miller redeeming himself in this Olympics…stories like that aren’t as abundent in the summer games.

Thanks for contributing to the site. I truly appreciate it. You know that I am a Winter Olympics fanatic. I am an avid snowboarder and arctic recreator. I watched all of NBC’s prime time coverage. There are more events at the summer Olympics, but you get much more bang for your buck in the Winter. Shaun White is out of this world. Also, females in the Winter games are MUCH hotter. There are dozens of female Winter Olympians that are LEGIT. Cheryl Bernard may be 44, but she is solid. Lindsey Jacobellis is cute with the frizzy hair. Women’s Curling is my new sport in 2010.
