			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Alpine Skiing</strong></p>
<p>Beauty comes from speed<br />
Love watching the intervals<br />
The falls are brutal</p>
<p><strong>Ice Dancing</strong></p>
<p>Sadly literal —<br />
it&#8217;s like pairs figure skating<br />
with added boredom.</p>
<p><strong>Snowboard Cross</strong></p>
<p>This one should be great.<br />
Lead changes, crashes and more&#8230;<br />
&#8230;oh, really? That&#8217;s it?</p>
<p><strong>Moguls</strong></p>
<p>Bump, bump, bump, bump, bump<br />
Bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, JUMP<br />
Bump, bump, bump, bump, bump</p>
<p><strong>Halfpipe</strong></p>
<p>Really, one question:<br />
Is Shaun White competing now?<br />
When he&#8217;s up, tell me.</p>
<p><strong>Skicross</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s more exciting<br />
than its snowboarding brother.<br />
Still disappointing.</p>
<p><strong>Figure Skating</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s too subjective.<br />
That is always a problem.<br />
&#8230;Well, at least for me.</p>
<p><strong>Aerials</strong></p>
<p>Yeah, it&#8217;s subjective.<br />
But all those twists and flips, man!<br />
Plus, it&#8217;s short and sweet.</p>
<p><strong>Biathlon</strong></p>
<p>Skiing and shooting<br />
The nuclear winter sport<br />
It makes sense to me</p>
<p><strong>Bobsled</strong></p>
<p>Two-man — I get it.<br />
Four-man? Those middle two folks<br />
push, and not much else.</p>
<p><strong>Cross-Country Skiing</strong></p>
<p>They don&#8217;t stop to shoot<br />
Hills, turns, sprints — no rest at all<br />
A grueling ordeal</p>
<p><strong>Hockey</strong></p>
<p>No surprises here —<br />
I watch it most of the year.<br />
&#8230;No-touch icing rocks.</p>
<p><strong>Luge</strong></p>
<p>Clearly dangerous.<br />
And doubles? Two dudes, one sled:<br />
unnecessary.</p>
<p><strong>Skeleton</strong></p>
<p>The forward luge<br />
Sounds crazy, but makes more sense<br />
Just think about it</p>
<p><strong>Short Track</strong></p>
<p>Drama, speed, crashes —<br />
if it was on more often,<br />
I would not complain.</p>
<p><strong>Curling</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s on all the time<br />
Much screaming while the stones slide<br />
Strangely addictive</p>
<p><strong>Ski Jumping</strong></p>
<p>How does one become<br />
involved with a sport like this?<br />
Scandinavia!</p>
<p><strong>Speed skating</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s the boxing to<br />
the short track&#8217;s mixed martial arts.<br />
Older, but wiser.</p>
<p><strong>Nordic combined</strong></p>
<p>By air and by land.<br />
No love for water skiing?<br />
I get it. Too cold.</p>
