Anticipation

I don't go out of my way to find out the results of the Winter Olympics before the taped showing of the day's activities are provided between 8 & 11 each weekday night. But I can't help finding out most, as a result of perusing the AP photo wire for pictures to post, Twitter and Facebook. By the end of the day, I know what most of the Americans have done. That takes some of the excitement out of the evening viewing. But it also removes some of the tension. So here's my question:

Question: Do you studiously avoid finding out the results of the Winter Olympics prematurely?
