In all honesty, I probably prefer the Winter Olympics over the Summer ones. Can’t say I’m enthused between times, but I watch quite a lot of the ski races and jumping, bobsleigh, (ice) hockey, speed skating, luge … really anything where there’s a competition you can readily follow, so where there’s a score between teams or players or a time to beat.

I used to enjoy the figure skating, but that might just have been the Torville and Dean effect. Now the only interest really is the music they use. Otherwise, anything involving interpretive dance or artistic merit bores me rigid.

Of course, it’s not football. But by way of crossover, I love watching snowy football matches. My northern upbringing, albeit not as north as most of yours.
