Of course you have to see some sports when you go to the Olympic Games. The first sport I saw was cross country. One of the two tickets I paid for and given the low price it was certainly worth it. A lot of action.

The most expensive ticket I got were the Ice dancing tickets. Here you see the French couple that would win the event. 375 U$ but luckily I got them for free. I would never have paid that despite that it was really nice to see this event
