As the Winter Olympic goes on and as a second generation citizen I love seeing both of the countries (one where I originated, one where I live) compete and win medals.

What is everyone's favorite Olympic sport to watch? And maybe even play?! *summer and winter!

Personally for me I love watching water polo. As a previous player I know how brutal it can be as a sport especially under the water where all the contact between players is made. Yet watching it reminds of me of the old times when I used to play.

@sunnyWriting4806 I absolutely love watching the ice skaters. Their routines are so beautiful and you can tell how passionate they all are when they're performing. It always makes me smile watching them.

Figure skaters are amazing! I agree it feels so surreal watching them keep their balance on the ice and at the same time giving a show out of their routine. It's amazing and I can only imagine how much training that must have been taken to get there.

I actually want to learn howto ice skate now, I am Dutch and I can't ice skate, yet the Dutch are doing such a good job right now, it's amazing to see.

There is an ice skating (olympian grade ring even) near my house, I might go and take a course maybe.

Ice skating can be scary and difficult at first! But once you get the hang of it, it's one of the most fun things I've ever experienced in my life. Hurts my feet and legs a lot but it's so exhilarating!

So I adore the gymnastics, which I know is in the summer. But I also love watching the curling because I just think it's hilarious! It's like super calm and they send that huge hockey puck looking thing down and then all of a sudden it's like SWEEEEEEP. Lol I think it's so funny

I never understood what curling was until I looked it up! I agree it looks quite funny when I saw it at first, but then when I realized what they were doing I was kind of very interested at watching curling matches haha!

I really like Figure Skating too! I really loved Kim Yuna during her reign over the Winter Olympics. Volleyball is so fun to watch! I remember watching high school games and they were intense!
