Ever since I subscribed to direct tv for business at my office, I've been watching the Olympic's on NBC and one of my favorite sport so far has been the Speed Skating events. The quickness of the event and the amount of danger involved just gets my adrenaline running. You can tell that they are exhausted at the end of each event. During the finals (or in any event really) I always worry that one of them might slip and get cut on those sharp blades they use to skate. I'm more worried during the finals, however, because of the amount of pressure they are facing at that time and they might make a wrong move. My favorite athlete has been Apolo Ohno and it's great to see how he maneuvers on the ice when trying to sneak into the first position. Looking at those blades in High Definition makes me cringe at the thought of getting close to them, and I can't imagine being there like Apolo or the other athletes! The camera angles at the event make it great to watch without missing a single frame and the clarity of the images is amazing. I'm also a fan of the Men and Women's Super-G event but nothing beats that speed skating!
