    PyeongChang 2018 Winter Games

    Which events are you interested in? Mixed Curling? Snow Snipers?

    Will there be any incident involving North Korea? Will the crazy sister from the north try to defect or possibly try to assassinate someone? Jim Jong Un says all options are on the table.

    I'll watch whatever is on but I look forward to the downhill and speed skating.

    I never miss the freestyle knuckle-cracking finals.

    North and South Korea marched together, all in the same white uniforms. Good time to defect? One from each side held the flag together and they didn't seem to be enjoying the experience.

    Here's an interesting sport by sport guide with some history of each event, like when it was introduced to the Olympics, etc, as well as this year's favorites to take medals. Good stuff. There have been several new events added in recent years.

    Ex. The ski jump goes all the way back to 1808 when a competitor named Ole Rye jumped 9.5 meters. It became an official Olympic event in 1924.
