I worked as a volunteer at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, in the curling venue, so I got to see Sweden get a gold in a sport we for some reason happen to be surprisingly good at. I also bought tickets to the mens' figure skating, short and free programme, and thus got to see my favourite skater Evgeni Plushenko get a gold. And I could've bought tickets to the mens' hockey final, but I figured Sweden wouldn't make it to the final anyway, so I missed seeing us get the gold there. But I had a fever that day anyway so going into town wouldn't have been fun, gold or not.
Also, crosscountry skiing is definitely a sport to watch on the telly, wrapped up in a blanket and drinking tea or hot chocolate.
