“I really like it in general. I watch the Olympics, it’s a clean fun competition.”

“I prefer the Summer Olympics, I have a couple of events there,” Javier Ruiz said. “I think the most fascinating event during the Winter Olympics is the curling, simply because it confuses the heck out of everybody that watches it.
“And the more I try to make sense of what they’re doing, the more confused I become and it makes me want to watch more. To me it is one of those unpredictable [things], you don’t know who is going to win or who is going to lose. I’m fascinated by the mechanics of it,” he said.
