What Olympic sport do you consider so dull that you would rather watch grass grow than watch it? Personally, I find cross country skiing to be incredibly dull. It's like watching a marathon only the runners are on skis. Curling is more exciting than that.

I know my fellow Canadians are going to hate me... hockey. It bores the crap out of me. I always hope Canada wins, force myself to watch important games, cheer and stuff, but I'm a closet hockey hater. Its just repetitive and I don't see the strategy in it and I'm a shame to my country.

Curling is the slowest sport evar (and it doesn't help when they show a shot in slooooow mo) but I actually like it. In a way. And live curling games are great, four sheets at once! So at least you have something to pay attention to while that rock over on sheet three is slowly making its way down the ice, sheet two forfeits, and sheet one has a team who are huddled strategizing.

I like hockey myself but only cause I like to see the guys fight xd Watching curling isn't too bad but I do not understand the need for slow motion camera. The rocks aren't moving that fast.

Personally I find the halfpipe boring but not as boring as figure skating and Ice dance. Curling is pretty boring on TV, but in person as mentioned above, it is great in person with four different games to watch. Of course, I think most of the sports are better in person. In fact, even cross country skiing is great if you watch it there so you can cheer as they go around the stands. wink

On a side note, I think short track speed skating is the most exciting, especially in person. Man does the crowd get into it!

Just the very act of passing someone can alter the outcome of the entire race. With one stumble a person can take out themselves as well as other in the race.
