Yes and No.
Not as many countries are in the Winter ones. But it still has alot of prestige

Summer: No Hockey
Winter: Men's Hockey, Women's Hockey, Sledge Hockey
Winter is much better.

I actually look forward to Winter Olympics, while I'm pretty meh toward the Summer ones...
Winter Games are so more fun to watch: less disciplines, less "filler" events, more countries able to fight for the gold...

I prefer the Winter Games.
The Summer Olympics are a monster now. Too many events, too expensive to host, too many athletes.
Just too much of everything really.

With the exception of Track and Field I don't watch any of the Summer Games. The Winter Olympics has Luge, Bobsleigh, Skeleton, Ski Jump, Downhill Skiing, Biathlon and several snowboarding events. I don't think it'll ever be as prestigious, but I prefer the Winter Games.

Not only is it Butterfly, Breast, Free stylke and back stroke you got all the relays to the final, team style and their relays to the finals. Same with most of the running. I like watching the gymnastics thou. Other than the ice skating I love most of the Winter it has curling and hockey.

I don't think so. I read an article in either US New & World Report or Newsweek about the Winter/Summer Olympics. The Winter Olympics has become a barganing chip for nations that want to host the Summer Olympics to use. So if you're the United States Olympic commitee you'll vote for a host in Aisa or Europe for the Winter Games if you want a shot at the Summer games. Same things goes for all the other nations that are trying to host.

Winter and it isn't even close. All I care about in Summer games is basketball.

No. The Summer Olympics are older, involve more countries, and carry the ancient traditions of the games. The Winter Olympics are a add on, to includes a series of sports that are only played in the Northern Countries. I think it's orgins are actually a Pan-Scandanavian Games.
The Real Question is of course, which does Zeus feel more honored by?

Remember in Clash of the Titans where Lawerence Oliver and Maggie Smith just went through the motions as Zeus and Hera? Yeah, that was pretty bad EDIT: Ok apparently Clare Bloom was Hera. Maggie Smith was Thetis of something. Still it was bad, I mean what was up with that robot owl thing?
