Want to talk Olympic politics? - there are other threads for that.

I've got Plex recording everything NBC broadcast is airing and automatically cutting out the commercials. No idea how commercial detection technology works, but it works well.
Stuff I'd be interested in is biathlon, downhill skiing, really most anything on skis or skates is interesting enough. It amazes me how easy the athletes make a 10k skate race appear.
Women's snowboard stuff seems almost cruel to broadcast. I'm all for their participation, but I could tell I was watching men's snowboarding from 20 ft from the TV in 1/4 second glance of someone spinning in air. Night and day difference in performance there.
Curling is something I could get into. I already seek out shuffleboard when considering a bar to visit.
