I watched the opening ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics at Sochi The red ring failed to open up into a ring The colors of the rings as well as the white background Can be found on all the flags of the world This is our first time competing in Russia We boycotted the games played in 1980 The colors of the rings are blue, black, and red on top With yellow and green on the bottom I like the winter olympics better than the summer Olympics My favorite is the ski jump I also like the bobsled, luge, speed skating(short track) Curling, freestyle skiing, and snowboarding I like to watch hockey live as I do watch the Dubuque Fighting Saints But like baseball, it just doesn't appeal to me to watch it on tv Norway has the most winter Olympic medals with 303 The United States of America has the second most with 253 Austria takes third place with 201 The work involved to be an Olympian is tremendous I think just to represent your country is a huge accomplishment I wish them all much success and safety As some of the events can be very dangerous Luge and ski jumping come to mind The safest would have to be curling I would like to try that one some day Ski jumping Forget it!

I have always enjoyed the winter Olympics a lot. Ski jumping and curling being my favorite events.
mimzy333, thanks for your comment. I enjoy them too. I did watch the ice dancing, but the regular ice skating has more danger with the jumps and rotations.
Hi, mcradloff, The work involved to be an Olympian is tremendous I think just to represent your country is a huge accomplishment. Definitely! Thank you for sharing your appreciation of the games with us. As they strive for personal and team accomplishment and transcend boundaries, may the games continue in peace.
gnj4u, thanks for your comment. I have always had admiration for the Olympians at the winter games. I have spent most of my time so far watching curling. The USA didn't fare so well so far.
