I actually quite enjoy the winter olympics but don't feel we get enough coverage to fully appreciate it?

As you say Mike, maybe coz we're not much of a show as far as medals it doesn't get enough exposure. That seems a poor reason not to see more of it, though.

I think there's definitely something in what you say about Australia being a "summer nation", though.

Although we do enjoy ourselves in winter sports too.

Maybe the winter olympics are just seen as something of a sideshow and "bridging event" between the summer games?

Anyway... come on Aussie come on!
