Too many sports by 3x for me, I lost interest completely/  Maybe 5x.  

I remember doing katas in my limited karate training back in the day.  They could get difficult even at my level and you had to be really warmed up and flexible.  It was like strenuous dancing, great exercise really.

Yeah, my only issue with katas in a tournament/competition form is similar to my issue with gymnastics or diving or figure skating. It comes down so much to subjective judging decisions than anything else. 

At least with sparring/kumite, it's like fencing in that you score a point or you don't by actually striking your opponent. That's much more objective.

Yeah when I watch diving I'm like "wow" and then the announcer is like that was such a crappy dive.

Ha!  Same here.  I'd be a poor diving judge, and an even worse diving competitor...

Heh, I didn't even know that the basketball team was in contention for the gold. 

Last I heard they face planted out of the gate, and I had just assumed that they were sent home packing a while ago.

The problem with the Winter Olympics is there's a million other things happening.

The Summer Olympics are perfect.  You are (usually) a month plus out from the NBA/NHL Finals, baseball is on the dog days, you've got nothing else.  It's something else that's perfectly times at just two weeks.  Then it's over, and MLB playoff races are heating up, and football is right around the corner.  I have truly never understood the objection

Beijing, China. Curling will be in the Water Cube, the same building where Michael Phelps wrecked shop. Skiing will be in the mountains 150 miles northwest of Beijing.

After that, it's Milan, Italy, with skiing and downhill events scattered throughout the Italian Alps.
