Definitely baseball. Before my love for hockey, I played baseball. I played for 6 years, and I love to watch the game still. Only thing better than the World Series is the Stanley cup.

I personally enjoy watching the swimming/diving events, the swimming because its fairly exciting and usually there is a good story to follow. Diving is fun because I like to pretend i know how the sport works and judge the dives since i become a specialist

As far as an Olympic sport, it's golf. when he's not
Playing hockey he's golfing. It would be baseball if it was in the summer Olympics but unfortunately baseball is not :(

As a large and ungraceful hippo I will never not be amazed by gymnastics and their reaction time as well as general flexibility. I don't think one of those bars could hold my weight and here they are swirling, twisting, flipping, and flying between them.

I love watching basketball. High flying, great story-lines. I really appreciate that the stars are able to be stars and really impact a game in ways that you don't really see in hockey. And with all the drama, it's like WWE but with scoring.

Ben Jammin is all about the music and dancing, so when he saw that breakdancing was part of the olympics this season he made sure to tune in. He was happy to see that a fellow Canadian was able to win the gold medal.

Latvian Potato peeling. Not only is Latvia undefeated world champions but after all the potato's are peeled they use them to make vodka to party with.

Maverick Reynolds saw that Turkish dude walk up with minimal equipment and get a silver medal, so naturally Maverick thinks if he pulls up with all the goofy precision goggles, he could probably get himself a bronze. He may not have ever fired a gun before but surely it's not that hard...

Lias likes to watch the olympic diving, so he can come up with really technical-sounding insults to level at his opponents when he thinks they're trying a little too hard to draw a penalty.

Oliver Castillon is a big Hockey Guy, but he's not really a big Other Sports Guy. He doesn't watch much of the Olympics or any other pro sports, even though he appreciates the athletes that play them in a professional capacity. Watching, playing, working out, tape review, dieting, and other things to make him a great hockey player don't feel like work, but somehow even catching a few highlights from other sports feel more work-adjacent, and therefore exhausting.

For the summer olympics I just love watching the swimming and the track and field. It is hard to beat the upbeat tempo of the races and the exciting finishes. For the winter olympics, other than hockey of course, honestly I like to watch curling. Might be crazy, but I think it is awesome haha.

Ville Sato-Maki is a big fan of curling. Something about it still being on ice and the quietness of it all as you hear the teammates yell at each other is so calming.

It's a tie between track & field and swimming. Both sports have their individual components as well as their team relays. It's also the easiest to understand because it's just a racing!

Shawn Pawn, like most is a big fan of the Olympics. One of the events that he is a big fan of is any event that takes place in the velodromes. Shawn pawn is just a big fan of the track design and really enjoys the 100 lap race that awards for winning the sprints that occur every 10 laps as well as gives you points for lapping your opponents.

Rence Sykut absolutely loves watching curling when it is on tv. It involves ice, rocks, and seemingly unathletic people screaming what seems to be incoherent words to each other. How could you go wrong?
