I'm not a great sports fan, but do like it when the underdog does well (unless I favour the favourite, of course). Rochdale held Spurs to a 2-2 draw at the weekend. And England play scotland in the Six Nations at the weekend...that will be interesting.

I normally don't watch Olympic events much but I've liked the speed skaters, the skiers and the freestyle jump events.
