Watched about 10 min. of the snowboarding halfpipe.  How can that be a sport? About one of the most useless activities I've ever seen. Did watch the girls hockey, Switzerland beat Sweden the other night and Canada beat the USA last night.  Both good games.  Skiing and skating are OK, but something I watch only if there is nothing else on.  The Curling is neat to watch though.

So far, I've found the snowboarding to be the most interesting.
Pretty amazing tricks, a lot like gymnastics which I like a lot.

Yes they do.  I guess anything that some people can do better than others can be a sport.  Daytona 500 Sunday. 40 cars going round and round at 200 miles an hour.  Almost as boring as snowboarding but I watch it anyway.
