Its grown on me a bit in the past couple of winter olympics. The endurance aspect is interesting to me, but my frame of reference is not really there as I've never done it, so I don't really realize how hard it can be.
I don't really get the short track either. It is very graceful and looks like it would be very fun to do. But it is also very frustrating to watch. One guy loses an edge, takes the pack out, and all of a sudden the slowest guy in the race wins. I prefer a sport where the best guy (or team) usually wins.
