I don't plan on watching much of the Olympics this time (being busy with my "visitor"), but I'm most interested in the ice hockey games anyhow!
I do get annoyed in any sport when the rules and requirements keep changing. Just like there's nothing like "old time hockey", I really miss the days when figure skating's technical merits had more weight in their overall score. (Remember those figure 8's?) Just like every other sporting event in this day and age, it seems to have been filtered for more things to be quicker and more spectator-friendly rather than keeping the skill levels in tact.
