What Olympics are you gonna watch? I'm watching hockey right now
I'm watching hockey, skeleton and jumps right now! HboMAX allows for multiview on the single screen so you can follow several sports together (with commentary on a single sport).
I'm also jumping on and off to curling, that has been a real surprise for me.
There's a few people here have said the same thing about curling! It's clearly surprisingly good
The italian couple that played during the mixed doubles (they got bronze in the end) made me start following it. I knew the sport but I never found a reason or a moment to follow it. Now? Eh... I think I'm a fan!
I already knew ice hockey so I was already following the games at the olympics, but curling? Yeah, the biggest surprise.
However, I think this year, the winter olympics are getting way more attention than other years. Dunno why, but looks like it's the first time that people are really interested on them! And that's great! It always looked like the winter sports were just second-class disciplines.
