This Friday the Olympic Games in South Korea will be opened. Will you watch? If so, do you root for someone?

I´m of course rooting for the Czech Republic even if I think we are not in best shape for these Olympics I´ll watch as much as I could but I will for sure watch all biathlon events

I won't follow any country in particular since NZ is a non-entity in the Winter Games, but I've always enjoyed watching curling so I'm also very curious as to how affairs between North and South Korea will play out...

Rooting for our two athletes. One of them actually lives in the USA (as a dual citizen), so we might have a chance at a medal? Debuting countries: Ecuador, Eritrea (wut), Kosovo (yas), Malaysia, Nigeria (wut [2]), Singapore I still find it weird to see hot-climate countries participating in a Winter Olympics since they never experience actual winter regularly, but I think it's great that you can come from anywhere and still be part of the event. Both Koreas will march together in the opening ceremony. And their women's ice hockey teams will merge as one team representing Korea as a whole.

The Olympics is one of my all-time favorite events because it brings countries together. Plain and simple. (Keep in mind I'm in a typically non-ESC part of the world) I suppose I should root for but I much more enjoy seeing when other countries win, honestly. Other countries like end up doing better anyway A mini-request: If your country gets gold, share the medal ceremony video? I love watching the athlete's reactions to their flag and anthem. One of my favorite reactions ever is linked here.

However that RUSSIA has been banned from 2018 Winter Olympics because of using an illegal substances and Doping then it make it into Athletes from Russia. Philippines has expected with 2 Participants. It can play both Korea as well but it Unified by playing Ice Hockey.
