As we all know, the 2010 Winter Olympics are just around the corner. Earlier this week we discussed why certain sports that both men and women play, almost always the men teams always get more recognition. This sparked this question: which is more popular, the Winter or Summer Olympic games? Why? I personally believe that the summer Olympics always get more attention than the winter games. I think it is because people usually have more free time in the summer and enjoy watching sunny outside sports. I also really like the winter Olympics, but I feel that there isn't such a big hype about them. The only time I remember being really excited about the Winter games is when they were in Salt Lake City in 2002. I remember watching the Olympic torch march down Sheridan road which I think made me interested in those Olympics. Overall, I think the Winter games have more interesting sports, but Summer games have the 'popular' sports like Track and Field, Swimming, and Gymnastics. Which one do you prefer? Why?
