What Winter Olympic sport would you do?
| Fri, 02-24-2006 - 10:08am |
Assuming you were magically given the athletic ability to participate in any of the winter Olympic events, which one would you do and why?


Okay for me it would take more than magic, it would take a miracle-LOL!!!
my first thought was figure skating...to have that grace and ability...ah, would be so cool !!!
Then I thought like Marci...would love the thrill of going really fast, downhill snowboard, skiing, something.
God could not be everywhere, so
I adore watching speedskating. (Especally this year...GO KLASSEN!) I've always wanted to know what it's like to do that.
Figure skating comes in a close second. I've been following since I was young. There's not a piece of music I can't imagine some kind of routine.
Curling is looking better and better too, but maybe thats because I can't run 10 metres without stoping for breath and I really can't stand to be on skates for more than half an hour (and this is comming from a Canadian :p).
I would like to do the luge or the snowboarding or even hockey :) I always thought the luge looked the most fun but then this year I watched the snowboarding and I was like whoa that looks sooooo fun that i want to move to a place where it snows and they have mountains so I can learn and get lessons for the kids. Maybe DH will get a job in Colorado or something.
By the way, what is curling?

It can be played by absolutly everyone. A player on our men's team just turned 50 last week, with the next oldest team mate being 26.
It big in Canada and was a big deal for the people in Newfoundland this year. Four fiths of the men's team is from the Rock, so in light of the gold metal game, they actually closed the schools early so the students could go home and watch the game. Needless to say, it was worth it. Canada got gold, the students got an education and there was a big party on George St last night. (George St = longest stretch of pubs and bars in the world. Only in Newfoundland.)
BTW, the US men's team won bronze. :p
