to be honest i do not know anything about winter games. I do not watch this either on TV or on the Internet. People do the same in general. These games i believe have many followers with aged 50 years or more. The rating shows that these games are being watched quite a bit.
Thank you very much for this preview. I'm not sure if I will watch all the events of Winter Olympics, but some of them will definitely be on my schedule. Hope that our russian team will win the hockey final. Good luck to all competitors.

Well to shame that many from Russia is baned for this Winter games because doping scandal i think 111 of them or more and more worst then that is to this year no medal for Russia they will be count like indenpended country ....Russian hockey team will be called OAR .....
To edit myself Russian will be neutral athletes at the Games in Pyongyang and only 168 come from original roster of 500 that the official news says ....
as probably many people understand in the history of the doping scandal, of course, some Russian athletes are really to blame .... but when the olimpiad is not allowed to the leaders of the Russian team who have nothing to do with doping it is wrong .... politics is now above the sport and it's sad

there is the possibility for Russian athletes to compete for other countries or can not do that. I knew he could compete under another country flag but now i do not know if the law is permissible. I have the impression that these Russian competitors were forced by Putin to dope. 1,000 Russian athletes from over 30 sports disciplines have been involved in a centralized doping system with the support of secret services. This is an inadmissible thing and only politicians can organize such a horrible thing.

... < ...It's nice to see that North Korea's second in command is shaking hands and being friendly with South Korean leaders during the opening ceremonies...!
.... < ...Hopefully it's legitimate and the North isn't just using the event to propagate further propaganda...!
I'm not a big fan of the Winter Olympics neither but I like sports betting so for sure I will have a close look at it as maybe I will find interesting markets that will earn me some extra cash if rightly choose...

More sports to be for sure, but i dont think this will be easy for most of the bettors. Not games that you usually bet at, so you can say the knowledge is limited here. But you can always get lucky and hit big in a good combo Good luck.

Like guy from Poland, I must say that the ski jumping competition was insane... I don't like that the judges want to put Germans / Norwegians on the box at all costs. I don't like that nowadays sport is more and more fake... Like the Norwegian took 6000 (!) anti-asthma medications - what's wrong with the sport???

Isn't it weird that they did not have some weird rocket missile test during the games? One would think they would time those so they could have all they eyes on them...

here is one example of the fact that now there are a lot of politics in the sport .... some athletes who previously used dope participate in these games without problems ..... but for example some athletes from Russia who have never been charged with doping are not allowed to run without explanation reasons
