I'll watch most of the events, but my favorite by far is ski jumping. I like to try to guess the distance just by watching the takeoff. After you watch a bunch of them you can start to get a feel for it.

next would be the downhill and also both types of speed skating. especially that short track version where they whip around. its kind of like horse racing, you have closers and speed types, drafting, strategy, inside and outside lanes, they can get boxed in, photo finishes and sometimes there are fantastic wipeouts and guys that DNF.
