I agree snowboard cross is very spectacular, I’m not a fan of freestyle and other snowboard “things” on the contrary because I generally don’t like sports based on other people judgement and not on the objective verdict of a stopwatch.
Another very thrilling discipline IMO is skeleton, 130 km/h with your eyes couple of cm from the ice... wow.
Yesterday then I got hooked by women’s curling, but I’m under the impression that it could have more to do with a player of the Norway team than with the game itself...

Both Italian teams had to learn a good lesson from Canada, obviously it was expected to say the least... when at the start of the second period men managed somehow to score the 1-1 I thought “Hmmm... I’ve the feeling they are going to react”... I know little about hockey but, admittedly, it wasn’t a difficult prevision... anyway we got our “revenge” with men’s pursuit in skating
BTW, I was watching curling earlier and the commentator said that in Canada the curling players are more than 3 millions (in Italy about 500), is that a reliable figure ?
