EQUALLY AWESOME, because i can't choose which i like more: ice-skating or gymnastics. SO DIFFICULT.

Why am I not surprised you have the same taste in Olympic events as me?

Summer, only because I'm from the ~tropics~ and we don't see many Winter sports in action here. And Summer boasts a great line up of events, including gymnastics, swimming (Phelps!), diving, badminton, table tennis, tennis and athletics.. I'm an Asian at heart!

Just so you know, I will always associate Phelps with you, foxy_flamingo, and that summer of 2004. I've never actually seen him swim, though? I SUPPOSE THIS YEAR WILL RECTIFY THAT.

Don't disown me! I'm a big soccer fan. And there's pingpong. And (prepare to lol) synchronized swimming! I just don't know how they can do it so PERFECT and also not drown.

My love of figure skating disallows any mocking of your love of synchronized swimming :(

HI WELCOME BACK HOW WAS YOUR TRIP? AMAZING?????

Once I tried to make a list of plausible Fall and Spring Olympic events (I was 9 and Olympic-obsessed) but I couldn't come up with any. BUT UM. I don't know what's up with everyone who apparently doesn't care? WHAT IS WITH THE WORLD?

How bad it is that I really don't know which are the winter ones and which the summer ones? lol, that shows how much we (as a country, you know) care about the olympics
buut i voted for the summer because you see, summer -> now // now -> beijing08 olympic games // beijing08 (AWESOME) -> summer. hahaha
I'm terrible like that :(

Oh that's so funny! Winter is wintery sports (skiing, bobsledding, FIGURE SKATING) and summer is summery sports (basketball, swimming, gymnastics).

The thing is, we get the summer olympics in our winter, and the other way around, or then the seasons are mixed and it's chaotic. So go figure my confusion for the whole issue (hey, I'm not that stupid :[)
I DO love figure skating, but apart from that, the sports played in the summer ones are LOVE (hockey, gimnastic, basketball, football) Plus, they are the ones in which we usually compete, so... Yeah, I think I still prefer the summer ones :P
