Cold Games

I am trying to watch the Winter Olympics, I really am. Being Canadian, the son of True North, I should love to watch winter sports, shouldn’t I? The truth is most of the winter sports are no good on TV. They all look like fun to do but to watch? It is mostly clock watching. I have clocks at home; I don’t need to watch them on TV. Granted short track can be fun with the high crash rate, but coverage is dominated by the wishful Canadians and the whining choker called Ohno. Why are we told all of Ohno’s very long history of choking but nothing of the Korean and Chinese skater that beat him regularly? Hockey is good to watch but not when the score is 12, 16 to nothing! If I am not mistaken, the even is called “Winter” and not “snow and ice,” maybe they should go look at what people in warmer climates do in winter and add them to the games. Maybe that way these games will get a bit more colour.
