The Union went around campus and asked students if they have been keeping up with the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Darren Asari, 25, child development major: “I saw the downhill competition. I don’t know the exact name of it. I was amazed by Chloe Kim’s performances. She had a few close calls on staying on top of her game.”
Victor Jimenez, 20, English major: “I saw ice skating. Any sport with judges is intriguing.”
John Harvey, 19, physiological science major: “I saw a little bit of snowboarding. I thought it was interesting. I saw Shaun White get a gold medal.”
Ben Tyrrell, 19, music major: “I saw curling. It’s more complicated than I assumed. It’s pretty easy but looks a lot harder than it is.”
Kyle Ebersole, 18, fire emergency major: “I saw the half-point. Elizabeth Swaney qualified by default. It’s super cool she made it to the Olympics but she does not deserve to be there.”
William Doyle, music professor: “My wife likes ice skating so I saw that. I like sports. It was exciting to see all the competitors. I wasn’t excited about the snowboarding. I like the Summer Olympics better. I usually don’t watch TV and this gave me a break to see something I won’t see for another 4 years.”
